strong winds may precede the rains in areas where thunderstorms are likely to
occur. These winds can cause property damage, uproot trees, and lead to
hazardous conditions on roads and other public spaces.
Impact on Aviation

weather reports and forecasts from NiMet for effective planning in their
operations. Adverse weather conditions can significantly impact flight
schedules, and timely information is crucial for ensuring the safety and
efficiency of air travel.
Conclusion
The upcoming three-day period is expected to bring
widespread thunderstorms and rains across Nigeria, affecting both northern and
southern regions. With detailed forecasts provided by NiMet, individuals and
organizations are encouraged to stay informed and take necessary precautions to
mitigate the potential impacts of this weather. The predicted weather patterns
highlight the importance of preparedness and responsiveness to changing weather
conditions, ensuring safety and minimizing disruptions in daily life and
commercial activities. #NiMet #Rainfall #TredingNews #Bulletin1247
