Nigeria has three different climate zones: a Sahelian hot and semi-arid climate in the north, a tropical monsoon climate in the south, and a tropical savannah environment in the center regions. [25] While the core regions only get one rainy and one dry season, the southern parts see heavy rainfall from March to October.

Nigeria's climate is influenced by its geographical location, topography, and the interactions of various air masses. [7] Nigeria is situated in West Africa, between latitudes 4°N and 14°N, and longitudes 2°E and 14°E. [8] It experiences a tropical climate characterized by distinct wet and dry seasons. [9]
Nigeria is a party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1994 and ratified the Kyoto Protocol in 2004. The country's nationally determined contribution is to reduce emissions of Short-lived Climate Pollutants and Hydrofluorocarbons by 47% by 2030 at a projected cost of US$542 billion. [4] [5]
Climate change affects Nigeria's hydro power generation, as it leads to unpredictable rainfall and drought patterns, impacting water levels in dams like Kainji Dam. During drought, the hydro power output decreases, affecting national power distribution and disrupting industrial activities that rely on a stable power supply.

Nigeria experiences a warm tropical climate with relatively high temperatures typical of the tropics and two distinct seasons: the dry and wet seasons. While the extreme southern tip of the country hardly experiences a dry season, the northeastern part has a wet season lasting no longer than three months.
A climate modeling study by the World Weather Attribution project estimated that the floods were rendered far more likely and much more intense by climate change. They modeled the June to September rainfall in the Lake Chad and lower Niger river catchment areas, looking at total rainfall and intense rain weeks.
