In the northern region, slight dust haze is expected on Monday, accompanied by possible afternoon and evening thunderstorms in parts of Adamawa, Taraba, and Kaduna States. By Tuesday and Wednesday, sunny and hazy skies are anticipated to persist, with isolated thunderstorms in Kaduna, Taraba, Adamawa, Sokoto, and Kebbi.
For the North Central region, NiMet predicts sunny skies with patches of clouds from Monday to Wednesday, alongside isolated thunderstorms during the afternoon or evening in parts of Plateau, the Federal Capital Territory, Niger, Nasarawa, Kwara, Kogi, and Benue States.
