For June 23 to June 25 the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) forecast rainy and thunderous weather conditions.
The weather outlook issued by NiMet in Abuja Monday said the atmosphere was saturated for potential weather activity.
Cloudy conditions however, according to the agency, dominate most parts of the country.
“For Tuesday, cloudy morning is anticipated over the north with chances of few thunderstorms over Katsina, Adamawa, Taraba, Gombe, Bauchi, Gusau Kaduna and Zaria axis in the afternoon and evening periods.
“The central cities are expected to be cloudy. However, patches of thunderstorms are probable over Minna in the morning.
“Later in the day, light thunderstorms are envisaged over Jos, Abuja, Kwara and Minna.
“Over the south, intermittent rains are likely in the morning. As the day progresses, few thunderstorms are probable over the inland with chances of light thunderstorms and rains over the coasts.”
On Wednesday morning, NiMet predicted a cloudy atmosphere through the north down to the central cities.
It also predicted light thunderstorm prospects in most places , particularly in the afternoon / evening hours at Gusau, Gombe, Taraba, southern Borno, Adamawa, Bauchi, Mambila Plateau, Jos, Zaria Ilorin and Abuja.
Cloudy mornings are likely over the inland, according to the agency, moving through the day with few expected thunderstorms.
NiMet predicts the eastern parts of the coast will be cloudy in the morning with chances of a few thunderstorms and rains over the west coast.
This also allows for pockets of thunderstorms and rains to be probable over most parts of the coast as the day progresses.
“For Wednesday, thunderstorms are expected to prevail over the north throughout the day. However, cloudy conditions with spells of sunshine are likely over the eastern flank in the afternoon and evening hours.
“Thunderstorms are expected to dominate in the morning over central, few thunderstorms are likely over Abuja, Jos, and Minna in the afternoon.
“Inland cities of the south are likely to be equally dominated by morning thunderstorms.
“Later in the day, patches of thunderstorms are probable over the western inland while cloudy conditions are anticipated over the east,’’ it said.
Over the coast there are prospects for morning rains, while light thunderstorms and rains are predicted as the day progresses.
