The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMET) has said that the rainy season has not yet begun.

In a brief statement issued on Tuesday, NiMET warned that the rains observed in some parts of central Nigeria do not signify the onset of the rainy season in the country.

β€œThough early onset of the rainy season is expected in coastal and North Central states, but not yet. Nevertheless, a late onset of rain is expected in Borno State and environs,” the agency said.

It disclosed that there would be 28 to 40 rain-free days during the 2026 rainy season.
