Warning by NIMET: heavy downpour in Nigeria’s coastal areas before December 2011

 Nigerian living in along coastal area of Nigeria get ready!

It was said yesterday by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) that Nigerians living along the coastal areas of the country would experience more rains before the year runs out.

Dr Anthony Anuforom, NIMET’s Director-General, reported in Abuja.

He said that the agency could not predict if the heavy rains would lead to flooding on the ground that flood could come as a result of other factors apart from rain.

Quoting from NIMET’S weather forecast for the rest of the year, Anuforom said that the intensity of the rain has reduced in the Northern part of the country.

“The rains are reducing for now so we are not expecting too much rain, there could be force of rain here and there particularly in the South but up here in the North, the intensity will be reducing but in the South, there could still be one or two very heavy down pour,

“Flooding is not just a factor of rain only, we may still have a couple of downpour in Lagos and all those areas, whether or not it will lead to flooding, is not something we can say straight away yes or no.’’

He said that the dry season this year would come with dust haze, adding that ‘’it is going to affect the North more than the rest of the country. (NAN)
