Seasonal Construction

A natural hindrance in construction is the wet rainy weather, which erodes the building blocks of most construction skeletons, makes roads inaccessible, and impacts the flow of man and materials from market to site.

On the national news, there is a forecast of torrential floods from rains in the month of September and October 2020.

The southern region of Nigeria experiences a double rainfall maxima characterised by two high rainfall peaks, with a short dry season and a longer dry season falling between and after each peaks. The first rainy season begins around March and last to the end of July with a peak in June, this rainy season is followed by a short dry break in August known as the August break which is a short dry season lasting for two to three weeks in August. This break is broken by the short rainy season starting around early September and lasting to mid October with a peak period at the end of September. The ending of the short rainy season in October is followed by long dry season. This period starts from late October and lasts until early March with peak dry conditions between early December and late February.
