The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has predicted three days of moderate-heavy rainfall in 14 States across the country.
The States predicted to experience the heavy downpour are: Bayelsa, Rivers, parts of parts of Delta, Ondo, Edo, Akwa Ibom, Cross River, Imo, Abia, Federal Capital Territory, Kaduna, Nasarawa, Kogi and Niger.
The forecast period, according to the heavy rainfall forecast bulletin by the agency, is Wednesday 28 to Friday 30th May.
The agency while noting that strong winds may accompany the rains, added that there are prospects of flash flooding as a result of the expected moderate to heavy rainfall.
It advised the public not to drive through surface runoff waters, as they have strong undercurrents.
Other likely hazards, according to NiMet, are slippery road surfaces and reduced visibility during the rain, which can disrupt road traffic. (The Nation)
