The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has announced a weather forecast predicting dust haze and cloudiness across Nigeria from Monday to Wednesday. The forecast, which was released in Abuja, indicates a slight dust haze is expected to affect the northern region throughout the period. This is particularly crucial as it may impact visibility for transportation and outdoor activities in those areas.

In northeastern states such as Borno and Yobe, moderate dust haze is likely, which is expected to reduce horizontal visibility to between 2km and 5km. This information is significant for residents and travelers alike, as it warns of potentially hazardous driving conditions. In the North Central region, a similar pattern with slight dust haze will be observed as well, highlighting the widespread impact of these weather conditions on daily life.

Meanwhile, the southern region of Nigeria can expect a mostly cloudy atmosphere with some intermittent sunshine. However, the forecast also mentions slim chances of morning thunderstorms in parts of Cross River and Akwa Ibom, with later thunderstorms and light showers expected across several states including Lagos, Edo, and Bayelsa. This diverse weather pattern represents typical seasonal variations across Nigeria, impacting agriculture and daily routines for residents.
