As the peak of the rainy season sets in, the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has warned of an increased risk of flash flooding in several states across the country. The advisory urges residents in flood-prone communities to stay alert, avoid blocked drainage systems, and follow weather updates as heavy rainfall continues.
Emergency management agencies are also encouraging motorists to exercise caution on waterlogged roads and advising communities to prepare for possible disruptions. Experts note that changing weather patterns, rapid urbanization, and poor drainage infrastructure continue to contribute to seasonal flooding in many parts of Nigeria.
Simple precautions such as clearing gutters around homes, avoiding driving through flooded roads, and paying attention to official weather advisories can help reduce risks during this period.
