Use water in anyway to cool the temperature.

Those working from home can't relate to these things.

I go out once in a while, and I feel the heat and return home...but I've never felt it in any way that is so alarming as to make me post about.

But yesterday's weather was kinda hotter sha...maybe coz...dunno...valentine et al

I just read about wet bulb temperatures in tropical regions of the world during this hot period and I learned something a wet bulb temperature is a phenomenon where the temperature is high and the humidity is also high which means when we sweat our bodies cannot cool because sweat cools us when our bodies overheat.

So that means that the moisture content in the air is high so when we sweat our sweat cannot cool us down so you sweat more and dehydrate faster and that can lead to kidney failure heatwaves like this do not kill immediately protracted nighttime stretches of 35°C can cause several health problems

Dry heat like in harmattan periods are different because the moisture content in the air is low meaning your body sweats and cools easier and faster than wet bulb temperatures

The current heat in naija is around 35°C and humidity is high and to be honest sleeping feels like being cooked in hot steam

My fellow nairalanders I bring you this info as I am here thinking of sleeping on the roof please does anyone know if mosquitoes can fly to the roof of a 5 storey building










Ah is peter Obi not there to criticize the weather conditions to blame federal government, thought he's the Messiah according to obidients, peter Obi can cool the sweat

This is not the first time we are witnessing this in Nigeria. Stop crying like a baby ..get yourself ice block and put.it in your bucket and add water to it ...you will arrive at a situsble temperature your body will like . The challenge we are facing is bigger than heat ...Nigerians are dieing of hunger and hyper inflation ...

Op, that means kidney failure should be rampant in Sokoto, Katsina, Borno, etc. grin
Cos this is their weather every year, and has been since forever.

It just happens that it came down South on this rare occasion.


Some of you that have never left Lagos or Southern Nigeria actually believe such crap. Lol.

Go tell this to those living near the Sahara. tongue


Google and too much Internet are doing more harm than good to some of you... You think you are learning, but you are not.


That was how many of you ran amok with your fear-mongering during COVID.

it doesn't cause any health issues, drinking much water is just the simple solution, sweating is even good for humans,as it helps remove toxins from the body.

Global warming? Why don't we ever experience clement whether all year round? I mean the hardship alone is enough torture. Nature should not add to it again biko. Na now NEPA madness come increase. They just throw the whole community into darkness. As in.. every where is pitch dark. undecided

Power distribution and supply is at its historical lowest across the nation.

Everything about Nigeria has massively deteriorated.


It's so shameful.

Funny how some people were taking offense for being described as "Generator Republic" recently.

This is far worse than that, cos most can't even afford fuel for the generators.

Nigeria is now officially "Blackout Republic". embarassed embarassed
