Some parts of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, experienced the first rainfall in 2024 in the early morning of Thursday.<\/p>\n

NAN reports that the light rain, which started half hour into the new day, about 12:30 am, lasted about 25 minutes, stopping at 12:55 am.<\/p>\n

The unexpected rain, which was devoid of lightning, heavy winds and thunderstorms, was witnessed at Kubwa, Bwari Area Council, Garki in Abuja Municipal Area Council.<\/p>\n

The rain was also witnessed in Dutse, Zuba, Bwari, Gwagwalada and Mararaba.<\/p>\n

Residents of the areas expressed mixed feelings over the rain.<\/p>\n

Mrs Anna Jonah, a resident of Kubwa, said the unexpected rain brought a temporary succour from the heat wave experienced in the past few days.<\/p>\n

She, however, expressed worry that because the rain was light, a delay in another rain might intensify the heat.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the rain started, I was lying down on tiled-floor in my room to get some relief from the heat and I had also taken cold bath twice because of sweats.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, after the rain, I moved to the bed with my husband and we had sound sleep, because of the mild coldness that accompanied it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concern is that a light rain like this might increase the heat in the coming days, especially as NiMet recently predicted delay in rain in the North-Central states,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Lawal Sale, a resident of Garki, said the rain was a bit heavy in the area and all the cars parked by occupants of his quarter that had accumulated dust were washed off by the raindrops.<\/p>\n

Sale also confirmed relief from the intense heat witnessed in the FCT in the past days.<\/p>\n

He, however, said the relief might be shortlived and advised farmers not to rush to planting because the rain might not be consistent.<\/p>\n
