The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has predicted more hazy weather conditions from Wednesday to Friday across the country.

NiMet’s weather outlook released on Tuesday, in Abuja, predicted moderate dust haze on Wednesday with horizontal visibility range from 2km to 5km.

It also predicted localised visibility of less than or equal to 1,000m over the northern region during the forecast period.

According to it, dust haze conditions are expected to prevail over the North-Central down to the inland and coastal cities of the south within the forecast hours.

“For Thursday, dust haze is envisaged over the Northern region down to Inland cities of the South. However, a hazy atmosphere with few patches of cloud should prevail over the coastal belt within the forecast period.

“For Friday, moderate dust haze with horizontal visibility range from 2km to 5km is expected over the Northern region during the forecast period.

“Hazy atmosphere is expected to dominate the North Central and the Inland cities of the South within the forecast period,” the statement said.
