The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has predicted a three-day weather outlook of sunshine and dust haze across Nigeria, starting from Monday to Wednesday.
In a weather update released on Sunday, NiMet forecasted slight dust haze for the northern region on Monday, with localised visibility ranging from 2km to 5km.
The northern region will continue to experience the haze throughout the forecast period.
Meanwhile, the North-Central region is expected to see sunny skies under a hazy atmosphere for the entire three days.
In contrast, the southern region will experience sunny skies with patches of clouds, with thunderstorms and light rain expected in parts of Cross River, Rivers, and Akwa Ibom States during the afternoon and evening hours.
However, on Tuesday, NiMet predicts moderate dust haze with reduced visibility of less than 1000 meters in the northern region.
The North-Central region will maintain slight dust haze, while the southern region is set for more sunny spells with occasional thunderstorms later in the day.
