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]
