I live in the North Central part of Nigeria, with a temperature of about 37°/24°. It's best described as partly sunny during this season and the weather changes daily depending on the season and time. Nigeria has two seasons; the rainy season and dry season, these weather are accompanied by different weather in time.
The rainy season is categorized with rainfall through the month of April to late September or early October, while the dry season takes effect from November to late March. The weather in Nigeria is not always constant, it changes over time due to many factors within the year. While some regions within North Central may have an abundance of rain, others suffer dryness.

Currently we are in the dry season with no rainfall but partial sunshine and sometimes heavy wind during the day. This sudden change happened in February, January was cold and there was no wind. The weather in this part of the country seems to change every year, each year with its own twist. This change sometimes is tagged to deforestation and other activities of humans like smoke from burning and factories.
There was rainfall here a few weeks ago. While people were shocked, some people understand that weather changes over a short period compared to the climate condition of a place. While some parts of the country may experience rainfall throughout the year, the North Central part of Nigeria receives rainfall for a few months then the dry season sets in. Sometimes the weather is harsh and other times cold.
Anyone can cope under this weather , it doesn't get too harsh that it burns one skin and it doesn't get too cold to freeze one. The coping mechanism is a change in the choice of clothes we wear during the seasons. A sweatshirt during the cold weather and a lighter cloth in sunny weather.
