It attributed the development to the presence of moistures in the atmosphere.
Chief Meteorologist Central Forecast Office (NIMET) Oshodi, Lagos Mr Abayomi Oyegoke, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) the moisture was due to the transition from dry to rainy season.
He described moistures as nuclear agents that converted heat into rain, adding that their presence resulted in high atmospheric temperature.
Oyegoke said the excessive heat would be experienced until the onset of the rainy season.
He said: “The presence of the moisture is responsible for the heat and sweating being experienced here, unlike in the North where there is no presence of moisture but dryness.
“ We are not yet in the rainy season; the atmosphere is preparing to change into another season.’’
The NIMET chief said the excessive heat could result in the outbreak of meningitis in humans and chickens, as well as rashes on human skin.
“Poultry owners will be more concerned now because of the heat that will affect their chickens,’’ he said.
Oyegoke advised parents to apply some cooling aids on children to avoid such diseases.
Lagosians have been crying out against the excessive heat, especially at night, regretting that poor power supply prevented them from using air conditioners and fans to reduce the heat. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
