The agency also indicated that areas of Rivers, Bayelsa, and Delta states may experience early-morning thunderstorms accompanied by light rainfall on Sunday.
As the day progresses, isolated thunderstorms are expected to occur in parts of Rivers, Delta, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, and Bayelsa states.
For Monday, NiMet anticipates continued sunshine in the North and hazy conditions in the North-Central region, while southern states are expected to experience cloudy skies in the morning and isolated thunderstorms later in the day.
On Tuesday, sunny and hazy conditions would persist in the northern and North-Central regions, while cloudy conditions are expected in the South during the morning, followed by isolated thunderstorms with moderate rainfall later in the day.
