High Temperature: Nigerian govt issues alert against dehydration, measles, other diseases

The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) has raised the alarm over the weather conditions across the country, noting that “air temperatures hit 41°C over the North and 39°C over the South with model projections indicating temperatures to remain high in the coming days.”

The agency, which posted the alert on its official X handle on Tuesday evening, urged Nigerians to watch out for possible dehydration and the likely accompanying consequences.

The organisation, however, said the northern part of the country will expectedly experience more heat than the southern region, even as it suggested precautions.
