Kaduna state has recorded its first rain of the year. The rain touched the soil of the state at about 10pm on Thursday.
The rain which was accompanied by heavy wind sparked jubilation among residents who had grappled with a heat wave in the past weeks.
Recall that both Christians and Muslims have had to battle with high humidity amid ongoing fasting.
Many believe the change in weather has affected how members of both religions observe their fasting obligations, largely due to increased fluid intake.
A resident, Mallam Yusuf Dan Musa, told DAILY POST that the rain has now reduced the amount of water intake.
“We saw rain coming when we noticed the heat was much. Most of the time, excess heat brings instant rain.”
The rains came one week to the end of Muslim Ramadan fasting and more than two weeks before Easter that marks the end of Christian fasting.
