Temporal and spatial patterns of severe warm harmattan (SWH) events in Northern Nigeria

This study examined the temporal and spatial patterns of Severe Warm Harmattan (SWH) events in Northern Nigeria from 1965 to 2024. Monthly minimum temperatures for the harmattan seasons, spanning November to February, were collected for seven stations in Northwestern Nigeria, namely Birnin Kebbi, Sokoto, Gusau, Katsina, Kano, Dutse, and Kaduna, and for six stations in Northeastern Nigeria, namely Damaturu, Maiduguri, Bauchi, Gombe, Yola, and Jalingo, and analysed across the sixty year study p

Abstract
