NiMet Warns Kwara, 10 Other States of Impending Flood

Date: 2016-08-09

The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (Nimet) has warned that Kaduna and 10 states risk flooding from August to October this year, as their various soil moisture had reached or were close to saturation.

Other states listed include: Akwa Ibom, Bauchi, Benue, Borno, Cross River, Delta, Kwara, Nasarawa, Yobe and Zamfara.

NiMet in its report on Rainfall Situation and Prospects of Flooding in August to October 2016, signed by its head of corporate communication, Eva Azinge, revealed that the saturation of soil moisture in the affected states was due to cumulative high intensity rainfall in June and July.

"After thorough analysis of rainfall data from our observatories nationwide for June and July, we wish to provide the following information and advisories to the public, especially those in the affected areas. Soil moisture has either reached saturation, or near saturation levels due to cumulative high intensity rainfall in some parts of the country in June and July.
