The Oyo State Agricultural Development Agency (OYSADA) has alerted residents and farmers that little to no rainfall is expected across all parts of Oyo State this week, as hot and dry conditions dominate the forecast.
Temperatures are projected to remain consistently high, with daytime heat intensifying and hazy conditions persisting in several areas. The forecast also indicates very low precipitation chances, reinforcing concerns about moisture stress for crops and heat-related health risks.
What This Means:
Farmers should consider irrigation where available and avoid mid-day farming activities to reduce heat stress on crops. Adjust planting schedules and protect sensitive yields. Residents are advised to stay hydrated and limit prolonged exposure to extreme heat. Air quality may remain poor due to haze conditions.
OYSADA encourages residents to monitor daily forecasts for their specific locations and plan activities accordingly to protect productivity and well-being.
