The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has issued a forecast indicating that Lagos, Delta, and four other states are set to experience up to 250 rainy days this year. This prediction highlights the potential for significant rainfall, which may impact agricultural activities and daily life in these regions.

The states identified in the forecast include Ogun, Ondo, and Rivers, alongside Lagos and Delta. NiMet emphasized that residents should prepare for prolonged wet conditions, which could lead to flooding and other weather-related challenges.

Farmers are particularly urged to plan accordingly, as the extended rainy season could affect planting schedules and crop yields. Additionally, urban areas may need to enhance drainage systems to mitigate potential flooding.

As the rainy season approaches, NiMet will continue to monitor weather patterns and provide updates to ensure that communities are well-informed and prepared for the anticipated conditions.
