Contents.Climate types found in Nigeria The, designated by the as 'Am', is found in the southern part of the country. This climate is influenced by the originating from the South, which is brought into the country by the (maritime tropical) MT, a warm moist sea to land seasonal wind. Its warmth and high humidity gives it a strong tendency to ascend and produce copious rainfall, which is a result of the condensation of water vapour in the rapidly rising air.The Tropical monsoon climate has a very small temperature range. Then temperature ranges are almost constant throughout the year, for example, in the southern part of Nigeria, records a maximum of 28 °C (82.4 °F) for its hottest month while its lowest temperature is 26 °C (78.8 °F) in its coldest month.
The temperature difference of Warri town is not more than 2 °C (5 °F).The southern part of Nigeria experiences heavy and abundant rainfall. These storms are usually in nature due to the regions proximity, to the. The annual rainfall received in this region is very high, usually above the 2,000 mm (78.7 in) rainfall totals giving for tropical rainforest climates worldwide. Over 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of rainfall is received in the coastal region of Nigeria around the area. Bonny town found in the coastal region of the Niger delta area in southern Nigeria receives well over 4,000 mm (157.5 in) of rainfall annually. The rest of the southeast receives between 2,000 and 3,000 mm (118.1 in) of rain per year.The southern region of Nigeria experiences a double rainfall maxima characterised by two high rainfall peaks, with a short dry season and a longer dry season falling between and after each peaks.

The first rainy season begins around March and last to the end of July with a peak in June, this rainy season is followed by a short dry break in August known as the August break which is a short dry season lasting for two to three weeks in August. This break is broken by the short rainy season starting around early September and lasting to mid October with a peak period at the end of September. The ending of the short rainy season in October is followed by long dry season. This period starts from late October and lasts until early March with peak dry conditions between early December and late February.The, is extensive in area and covers most of western Nigeria to central Nigeria beginning from the tropical rainforest climate boundary in southern Nigeria to the part of Nigeria, where it exerts enormous influence on the region.This climate, the tropical savanna climate exhibits a well marked rainy season and a dry season with a single peak known as the summer maximum due to its distance from the equator. This section needs expansion. You can help. ( January 2011)The is located in the southern part of Nigeria.

( January 2011)The riverine area is home to a large population of people living mainly in small villages scattered along the banks of and creeks.Rainfall in Niger Delta Rainfall in the coastal belt of the Niger Delta is heavy due to the closeness of the Delta region to the equator. Annual rainfall totals vary from 2,400 to over 4,000 millimeters.Niger Delta cities and their annually rainfall totals in millimeters:. — 2,730 mm. (coastal town in the Niger Delta) — 4,870 mm. — 2,400 mm. (coastal city) — 3,070 mm (rainiest city with over one million people in Nigeria).
(south of Port Harcourt) — 4,200 mmVegetation. Vegetation map of Nigeria.Nigeria is covered by three types of vegetation: forests (where there is significant tree cover), savannahs (insignificant tree cover, with grasses and flowers located between trees), and land. (The latter is the least common, and is mainly found in the mountains near the Cameroon border.) Both the forest zone and the savannah zone are divided into three parts.Some of the forest zone's most southerly portion, especially around the and deltas, is swamp (see ). North of this is fresh water swamp, containing different vegetation from the salt water mangrove swamps, and north of that is rain forest.The savannah zone's three categories are divided into mm', made up of plains of tall grass which are interrupted by trees, the most common across the country; Sudan savannah, similar but with shorter grasses and shorter trees; and savannah patches of grass and sand, found in the northeast.
