Summary The agrometeorological bulletin for the 2nd dekad of June, 2017 is presented in this edition. Significant rainfall
amount was received in most parts of the country, the highest rainfall amount was recorded in Awka
(441.2mm). Rainfall distribution showed a wide distribution of 1-10 rain-days across the country. Most parts of
the country experienced above normal soil moisture conditions while, some places in and around Dutse,
Kaduna, Nguru, Sokoto had below normal soil moisture conditions. Sokoto recorded the highest mean
maximum temperature with a value of 36.70C across the country, while the mean minimum temperature
across the country was observed at Jos (17.40C). The maximum temperature anomaly showed that most parts
of the country had colder than-normal temperature anomalies except Asaba that had below normal
temperature anomalies.The northward movement of (ITD) is expected to continue with mean position of
18.00N (well above the country). Land preparation and planting for rain fed agriculture are expected to
continue across some parts of the northern states. Farmers should consult NiMet SRP for proper guidance
especially the far North where the onset of rains are yet to be established.
1.0 Rainfall Pattern This section highlights the observed measurement
of rainfall amount, rain-day, available soil moisture
and their departures from 30-year average for the
2nd dekad of June, 2017.

3.0 Weather/Agricultural Outlook for 3rd dekad
(10-20) of June, 2017.
3.1 Weather Outlook
The Inter-Tropical Discontinuity (ITD) is expected to
continue its north ward movement with a mean
position well above the country (17.00N).
Sunny and cloudy conditions are expected over the
northern part of the country with chances of localised
rain showers towards afternoon to evening hours.

across the central states with some prospects of
thundery activities/localised rains. Also there are
chances of localised rain showers towards afternoon
to evening hours. Some places in the inland and
coastal cities of the South may have prospects of
localize rainfall activities.
3.2 Agricultural Activities
With recent outbreak of diseases within the north-
western states Farmers are advised to consult the state
ADP’s for proper guidance. Land preparation and
planting of rain fed agriculture are expected to
continue across some parts of the far North. Farmers
are also advised to consult NiMet SRP for better
application and farming activities.
