The states anticipated to experience heavy rainfall include Bauchi, Niger, Bayelsa, Kaduna, Plateau, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Taraba, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Abia, Rivers, and Delta.
Additionally, the report highlighted that moderate to heavy rainfalls are expected in Adamawa, Katsina, Kano, Zamfara, Kebbi, Nasarawa, Kwara, Benue, Ebonyi, Imo, Anambra, Edo, Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Oyo, Ogun, and Lagos states.
Moderate rainfall is forecasted for Enugu and Kebbi, while lighter rains are predicted in Borno, Gombe, Jigawa, and Sokoto states.
