It is no longer news that the climate has become unbearably hot it could actually boil a water.
If you are not lucky enough to have a running air conditioner all through the night or a running fan, you will end up soaking your own pillow and bed with sweats that one would think a bucket of water was poured on them.
Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) has revealed that the hot climate is as a result of heat waves stemming from the emission of greenhouse gases and therefore warned Nigerians to prepare for more hot days and warm nights.
NIMET also revealed that the common effects of heat waves on humans are dehydration which can lead to fainting or death, chickenpox, heat rash, and psychological stress.
An online health advisor, Jay Eze, also chipped in that February and March are very heated period in Nigeria and it starts cooling down in April as the raining season starts.
