Medical experts warned that the extreme weather could lead to more dire consequences, such as kidney failure, stroke, excessive bleeding and skin cancer in Albinos. “Another thing that can happen under this kind of hot and humid weather is that it will affect the brain and blood. It makes the blood less viscous and can easily escape from the vessels, causing excessive bleeding and haemorrhagic stroke. In a weather advisory released by the central forecast office, the agency said certain states in the northern and southern parts of the country would experience extreme heat. It, therefore, advised that to cope and stay safe in the extreme heat, Nigerians needed to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration and avoid leaving humans or animals in the car, especially young children.
