The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) issued a heat stress warning on March 10, cautioning residents about extreme heat across the country.

Rising temperatures and high humidity levels over the next 3-4 days were expected to cause thermal discomfort in several regions.

NIMET advised citizens to stay alert and take necessary precautions

NIMET identified the North-Central and Eastern States as the most affected areas, including Kebbi, Niger, Kwara, Oyo, Kogi, Nasarawa, Benue, Enugu, Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi, Cross River, and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Other vulnerable regions included the Southwest, coastal areas, Taraba, Adamawa, Plateau, Kaduna, Zamfara, and Sokoto.

NIMET provided safety tips to help residents cope with the heat, including staying cool by using fans, air conditioning, or shaded spaces; wearing breathable clothing; drinking plenty of water; avoiding peak sun hours (12 PM – 3 PM); and using sun protection like hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen.

NIMET’s announcement on X urged Nigerians to take precautions and spread the word to ensure everyone’s safety during this period of extreme heat.

Extreme heat in Nigeria

Extreme heat in Nigeria is a significant concern, especially during the dry season, which typically spans from November to March.

During this period, temperatures can rise to over 40°C (104°F) in many regions, leading to heat-related health issues such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. High humidity levels, particularly in coastal and rainforest areas, exacerbate the discomfort and potential health risks.
