Residents in Kano, Nigeria Turn to God for rains to check heat

Kano State, Nigeria Residents have been praying keenly to God for regular rainfall due to the severe heat that has enveloped the metropolitan area, as a result of  lack of constant rainfall in the state.

Most of the inhabitants of the city have not been sleeping well at night for more than a week now because of heat occasioned by harsh weather.

There was, however, some relief last week when it rained once, but the respite was temporary with the heat coming back in greater intensity.

 A resident, Malam Musa Tasi’u, said the hot weather had made life miserable for him. “This is because I sweat all night and I do not sleep well.

 “I pray that the rains resume fully so that we have relief from this very unfriendly weather, which is disturbing me and my family,” Tasi’u said.

 Another resident, Hafsatu Abubakar, also expressed concern about the scorching heat, saying that the situation was taking its toll on her children.

She said,“my children cry all night because of this heat, and our plight is worsened by power outages. Only sustained rainfall can save us from this harsh weather.” Local weather forecast puts the temperature in the city at between 40 and 41 degrees Celsius.
