The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) has on Monday urged 11 state governments to take pro-active action against imminent flooding.

to the cumulative high intensity rainfall in those parts of the country in June and July. She added that with the current rainfall, there were prospects of flooding in August and October.

“After thorough analyses of rainfall data from our observatories nationwide for June and July, soil moisture has either reached saturation, or near saturation levels,” she said. “This is due to cumulative high intensity rainfall in some parts of the country in June and July.

“This means that floods should be expected in these areas because the soil is no longer able to absorb more rainwater in the coming weeks which coincide with the peak rainy season.”

Mrs. Azinge said many parts of the country would experience lower than normal total rainfall due to the effect of El Nino. “Flooding could still be experienced in such areas; particularly those that are naturally prone to flooding.’’
