The agency also warned that for areas where thunderstorms are expected, strong winds are likely to precede the rains and as such, trees, electric poles, unsecured objects and weak buildings may be felled, a reason it advised the public is advised to be cautious and stay in-door especially during heavy rainfall to avoid being struck by lightning.

The organization also advised all airline operators to avail themselves of weather reports periodically from NiMet for effective planning in their operations.

It also noted that moderate to heavy rainfall could lead to flash flood, hence the public is advised to take necessary caution.

NiMet called on disaster risk managers, agencies and individuals to be proactive, to avert loss of lives and property during the rainy season.

“I express gratitude to God for being the longest-serving attorney general of the federation which I refer to as a golden opportunity and greatest achievement.
