ABSTRACT

Nigeria is increasingly encountering severe and unpredictable weather patterns, aligning it with global climate-sensitive nations like India, China, and the United States. This commentary revisits the implications of such physical changes, especially in the context of orographic and large-scale atmospheric interactions that exacerbate rainfall intensity (“cloud boost”). It further highlights cascading impacts on security, agriculture, land health, human displacement, and carbon fluxes. Finally, it advocates for urgent, integrated adaptation strategies that combine engineering, community resilience, policy coherence, and climate education.

Keywords: Climate change in Nigeria; Global warming impacts; Extreme weather events Nigeria; Cloud boost phenomenon; Orographic rainfall Nigeria; Sahel climate trends; Rainfall intensification Nigeria; Flooding and displacement Nigeria
