Significant flooding affected Nigeria last week, with more than 150 deaths reported so far. Heavy rain struck the north of the country on Wednesday night and continued into Thursday, leading to flooding along the Niger River, displacing thousands and destroying hundreds of homes. The district head said it was the region’s worst flood in 60 years.

Heavy rain is not unusual at this time of year in Nigeria. The country has a tropical climate and is influenced by the west African monsoon, with the wet season running from April until October. This type of seasonality is linked to land-sea temperature differences, alongside the shifting intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), a band of low pressure roughly around the equator that shifts north and south with the angle of the sun.

From March to September, the sun favours the northern hemisphere, meaning there is greater incoming solar radiation here during this time. As land heats up faster than water, this creates surface low pressure over west Africa as air ascends over the region, which then allows moister air to move in from the Atlantic to later fall out as rain.

Additionally, the ITCZ moves northwards during the northern hemisphere summer, meaning this region of low pressure is now situated over north Africa, allowing for more precipitation there. In contrast, during the northern hemisphere winter, the ITCZ shifts southwards, leading to drier conditions in west Africa under higher pressure.

This week, Niger and Nigeria will continue to experience rainfall but also below-average temperatures. These will fall about 10C below normal early this week, with daytime maximums in the mid to high 20s compared with a climate average of mid- to high 30s Celsius.

Northern Africa also had some extreme weather, with a severe summer storm hitting Alexandria in Egypt on Saturday. The city was battered by heavy rain, strong winds and hail, which flooded the streets and caused power outages.


The conditions were attributed to a cold front linked to an area of low pressure that moved into Egypt over the weekend. The cold front introduced moisture and forced the warm air to rise, which later condensed, forming storm clouds. Although storms are common there in the winter and spring, they occur less frequently closer to summer.

The rainy season is just starting in the north and it is starting with a disaster. What does the coming days hold? I just hope this is not God punishing them for their sins.

May God comfort them over there in this hard times.

Anything Egyptian na wahala

And it's like it didn't happen in Nigeria.

Nigerian media dey talk other babablu bulabu.

And yet all Tinubu and his ers including the media are focused on 2027, no visit, no condolences, nothing...

Many people started calling pastor Adeboye different names when the prophecy came that we should pray against flooding this year... We haven't entered into the deep season yet and we are witnessing all this

Too bad !

Is there any year that flooding doesn't happen in Nigeria?

Weather forecasters can predict flooding so rest with prophecy.

oga, as the climate heats up more, this is expected. It's not prophecy, it's merely a prediction

Ok

People that died in Mokwa Flood are more than 400.
So many are still uned for. Even this morning, corpse are still being pulled out of mud.
Some have been washed away, never to be found again. Some already decomposing.
It was an extermination of streets on the water way.
A very Dark day in the History of Mokwa LGA, Niger State.

May the departed Rest In absolute peace.

Whu did the flooding still happen after the prayer?

Wow

Ok

I only saw this on foreign media two days ago. Lives has no value in Nigeria. Nigerians don’t even care.

May the victim rest in peace.

This is a warning to all the states that connects to River Niger.Delta,Kogi,Anambra etc.Soludo of Anambra state should make sure that those living along the tributaries of river Niger and on lower grounds,should start moving to higher grounds,sooner or later Cameroon may have to free water from their notorious dam,this is to avoid stories that touches the heart.

God would have destroyed the Whole World for Sin, then.

So his prayers didn't work? Or God doesn't answer him? There's nothing spiritual about the rains.

Tinubu APC Government Will Soon Share Rice For Them

Proverbs 29:2:

When righteous leaders are in power, the people experience a sense of joy and prosperity.
But when wicked individuals are in authority, the people suffer and lament.

Lol, are you indirectly trying to say Pa Adeboye & Co. prayers did not work? Imagine prophesying flooding that is perennial in Nigeria?

🤔
