On Tuesday, dust haze is anticipated over Kebbi, Zamfara, Sokoto, Katsina, Kano, Jigawa, Borno and Yobe.

The central region is expected to remain sunny with cloud patches.

NiMet said the South would be cloudy in the morning, with isolated thunderstorms likely over Delta, Ogun, Ondo, Lagos, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River later in the day.

The agency forecast dust haze over the North again on Wednesday, while the central region would experience sunny and hazy conditions. Cloudy skies are expected in the South, followed by isolated thunderstorms and moderate rainfall over parts of Lagos, Ondo, Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Ekiti, Edo, Delta, Bayelsa, Cross River, Akwa Ibom and Rivers.

NiMet advised motorists to exercise caution during rainfall, and warned that dust particles would remain in suspension in the North.
