Abstract: |
This research work investigated the daily weather variation of Abuja, Nigeria, for the month of April, using the data from Automatic weather station installed at Mathson Space International School, Abuja. Graphical method was used to analyse and represent the nature of the variations of all the parameters. It was shown from the result that there was daily variation in all the parameters but less experienced in atmospheric pressure, though has a surge at its middle before returning to initial trend. It was observed that the maximum, minimum and average daily temperatures of the study area for the month of April, 2019, are 34.920C, 30.170C and 32.490C. Also, the maximum, minimum and average daily atmospheric pressures are 975.64 hpa, 948.33 hpa and 968.32 hpa. The maximum, minimum and average daily relative humidity values are 65.58%, 47.06% and 55.51%, while the maximum, minimum and average daily wind speed values are 1.01 m/s, 0.49 m/s and 0.76 m/s. It was concluded that there were general variations in all the parameters irrespective of the nature. |
