The Nigerian Meteorological Agency, NiMet, has predicted thunderstorms from Thursday to Saturday across the country.

According to NiMet’s weather outlook released on Tuesday in Abuja, in the southern region, there are prospects of thunderstorms over parts of Ondo, Ebonyi, Edo, Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states during the morning hours.

The agency also adds that there is a high likelihood of urban flooding in major cities due to heavy downpours. It also advised the public to avoid flood-prone areas as strong winds may precede the rains in areas where thunderstorms are likely to occur.

Other parts of the country to be affected include Adamawa, Taraba, Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara and Kaduna States during Wednesday’s morning hours.
