Heatwaves in Nigeria

Heatwaves in Nigeria are often due to excessively high temperatures, often accompanied by dry conditions and increased humidity. These extreme weather events have become more frequent in recent years, exacerbated by climate change and environmental degradation. Nigeria, being a tropical country, experiences varying temperature fluctuations, but heat waves pose severe challenges, particularly in urban centers where concrete structures and limited vegetation amplify heat retention. The frequency and intensity of heat waves have increased, leading to significant impacts on public health, agriculture, and economic activities.
