It added that there were chances of localised thunderstorms over Abuja, Mambilla Plateau, Jalingo, Ibi, Kaduna, Lokoja and their environs during the afternoon and evening hours.
The agency predicted that the southern States would experience cloudy morning over the inland and coastal cities with day and night temperatures in the range of 32 to 37 and 21 to 26 degrees Celsius respectively.
It also predicted chances of localised thunderstorms over Ikom, Ado-Ekiti, Osogbo, Ikeja, Awka, Calabar, Portharcourt and its environs in the afternoon and evening hours.
According to NiMet, Northern States will experience partly cloudy to sunny conditions throughout the forecast period with day and night temperatures in the ranges of 38 to 42 and 20 to 29 degrees Celsius respectively.
“Partly cloudy conditions are expected over the northwest with dust haze condition over the northeast during the morning hours.
“Visibility is expected to improve over the northeast in haziness during the afternoon and evening hours with day and night temperatures of 38 to 42 and 20 to 23 degrees Celsius respectively.
