There is a common saying "the northern part of Nigeria has extreme weather". In a way, this map justifies that statement. Land surface temperature is the temperature at the surface to about 10m above the earth's surface. It can easily be felt by the human skin. How we feel affects our comfortability and in turn, affects our wear most time and some other things we do.
A lot of factors can be attributed to the strong difference in the LST value during the day and at night in Nigeria.
- Vegetation
- costal bodies
- soil type
- Land and sea breeze
- Urbanization and so on.
In summary, the southern part of Nigeria sometimes has more friendly weather than the northern part.
The map shows a selected month and day in the year 2021 with the temperature unity in degrees Celcius.
