As the day progresses into the afternoon, sunny intervals will dominate, but GMet has warned of the likelihood of scattered to widespread thunderstorms and rainfall.
These conditions are expected to affect the coastal, middle, transition and northern sectors from the early afternoon through to the evening.
The agency noted that the anticipated rainfall activity is likely to be triggered by a moderate rainstorm moving slowly westwards from the southwestern coast of Nigeria.
GMet has advised the general public to stay updated with subsequent weather forecasts to monitor the progression of the rainstorm and take necessary precautions.

Bridge in Wa collapses after heavy rains
YEN.com.gh reported earlier that residents of Meteu and adjoining agricultural communities within the Wa West District had been completely cut off from the rest of the region.
The severe structural failure occurred following a violent, prolonged downpour, which triggered flash floods that violently breached and collapsed the community bridge.
The disaster has left hundreds of commuters stranded, paralysing local trade and healthcare services, and leaving vulnerable school pupils unable to safely return home again.
