The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has predicted localised thunderstorm over the Central States of the country, especially Abuja, Makurdi, Obudu, Ibi, Jalingo and Ikom on Friday morning.

NiMet’s Weather Outlook by its Central Forecast Office (CFO) on Thursday in Abuja, also predicted prospects of thunderstorms over Kaduna, Zaria, Jos, Bauchi, Ilorin and Kogi axis in the afternoon and evening hours.

It added that the central region would also have day and night temperatures in the range of 26 to 31 and 18 to 23 degrees Celsius respectively.

The agency predicted that Southern states would experience cloudy morning with localised thunderstorms over parts of the inland areas and chances of rain showers over the coastal areas during the afternoon and evening.

It also predicted day and night temperatures in the range of 27 to 30 and 20 to 23 degrees Celsius respectively during the forecast period.

According to NiMet, northern states will experience cloudy conditions with prospects of thunderstorms over Kebbi and Yelwa in the morning and localised thunderstorm over Katsina, Nguru and Kano in the afternoon and evening hours.

“The Northern region will also have day and night temperatures in the range of 31 to 34 and 23 to 25 degrees Celsius respectively.

“Appreciable level of instability is expected over some parts of the country in the next 24 hours.

“This should give rise to thunderstorms and rain showers over some parts of the north and the central states while the southern areas are expected to largely experience light to moderate rainfall activities,’’ NiMet predicted.
