Details

Nigeria Meteorological Agency (NMA) is responsible for the release of weather forecast for selected cities in the country via their website, but presently largely on a daily basis.

As seen from their numerical weather portal they have a plan of making it available in more days, but presently non - functional.

Historical information is published on behalf of the NMA by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) World Weather Information Service at http://worldweather.wmo.int/en/country.html?countryCode=75
