The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) had on March 4 issued a Heat Stress Watch warning for multiple states, with temperatures soaring above 40°C in some regions. According to the forecast, Kebbi, Jalingo, and Yola are expected to record the highest temperatures, reaching 42°C, while Lafia will experience 41°C. Cities like Minna and Makurdi are also projected to hit 40°C.
NiMet cautioned that high humidity levels will make the heat feel even more intense, increasing the risk of heat-related illnesses such as sunstroke, dehydration, and heat exhaustion. Checks on social media have observed that Nigerians are commenting on the intense heat level in various locations.
@fameos_amos commented: ”This literally explains it. Stepped out at about 11 for breakfast yesterday morning and I almost passed out twice at Akara Cafe. I was so dizzy I could barely walk and was finding it soo freaking hard to breathe. Had to get a friend to drop me off at home.”
