Nigeria is expected to experience increased heat discomfort in November as temperatures rise and rainfall declines across much of the country.<\/p>\n
This is according to the Nigerian Meteorological Agency\u2019s (NiMet) November 2026 Weather Outlook, which projects maximum temperatures of up to 37.7\u00b0C and minimum temperatures ranging from 14.6\u00b0C to 25.8\u00b0C across the country.<\/p>\n
The agency warned that the combination of high temperatures and humidity could make conditions particularly uncomfortable in parts of the North-Central and Southern regions, even as coastal communities continue to receive some rainfall.<\/p>\n
NiMet projected maximum temperatures of between 28.6\u00b0C and 37.7\u00b0C across the country in November, while minimum temperatures are expected to range from 14.6\u00b0C to 25.8\u00b0C.<\/p>\n
The agency also forecast rainfall amounts of between 2.2mm and 217.7mm, with coastal areas likely to record higher rainfall despite the general decline in precipitation.<\/p>\n
The combination of high temperatures and humidity could increase thermal discomfort, particularly across the North-Central and Southern regions.<\/p>\n
The outlook points to a gradual shift towards drier and warmer conditions, although rainfall is expected to persist in some parts of the country.<\/p>\n
For the agricultural sector, NiMet advised farmers to take advantage of the prevailing dry conditions for harvesting, drying and storage of produce.<\/p>\n
It also called for continued malaria vigilance, particularly across Southern Nigeria, alongside proper environmental sanitation.<\/p>\n
The precautions are intended to help farmers and residents manage the changing weather conditions as the country moves further into the dry season.<\/p>\n
NiMet\u2019s November outlook comes amid broader concerns about rising global temperatures and the increasing frequency of extreme weather conditions.<\/p>\n
