It stated that hazy conditions were envisaged over the coastal cities in the afternoon and evening period with day and night temperatures in the range of 30 to 34 and 15 to 21 degrees Celsius, respectively.
According to NiMet, Northern states will experience dust haze conditions with visibility range of one to three kilometres and localised visibility of less than 1,000 metre during the forecast period.
“Northern states are also expected to experience day and night temperatures in the range of 24 to 30 and 10 to 13 degrees Celsius, respectively.
“Dust haze condition in reduced horizontal visibility is generally envisaged over most parts of the country, resulting in already raised dust in western Chad Republic coupled with the one in suspension around the country,” NiMet added.
