According to NiMet, northern states will experience dust haze condition with visibility range of one to three kilometres with visibility of 1000m or less over Katsina, Dutse, Kano and Sokoto.
“Day and night temperature values over the region are expected to be in the range of 26 to 34 and 10 to 17 degrees Celsius respectively.
“Visibility is expected to remain poor across the country due to the fresh dust that was raised over the source region with thick dust haze anticipated over the central cities.
“Dust haze condition is expected to prevail over the northern and inland cities with visibility range of 1-3km during the afternoon and evening period within the next 24 hours,’’ NiMet predicted.
