The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has predicted three days of moderate-heavy rainfall in six States of the country.

The affected States are: Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Edo, Bayelsa Delta and Ogun.

The rainfall is anticipated between Wednesday April 9-11, 2025.

The agency, in its heavy rainfall forecast bulletin on Tuesday, also forecasted light-moderate rainfall in Ondo, Lagos, Delta, Imo, Abia, Ekiti and few others states.

It added that other parts of the country would experience very light or no rain in the next three days.

The agency in the bulletin also hinted that there are prospects of flash floods as a result of the expected moderate-heavy rainfall.

NiMet while noting that strong winds may accompany the rains, advised the public not to drive through surface runoff waters, as they have strong undercurrents.

Other likely hazards according to the agency include; “Slippery road surfaces, reduced visibility during the rain which can disrupt road traffic. Strong winds are a threat to weak structures, trees and mast. Disconnect electrical appliances before and not during the rains”.
