The Ekiti State Climate Change Unit has advised farmers not to commence planting yet as the rainy season had not arrived in spite of rainfalls and flash floods recently witnessed in Ado Ekiti and environs.

A statement released by the unit indicated that there would, however,  be a favourable weather condition for farming this year.

It predicted that there would be wider length of rainfall and heavy rain year.

The Unit advised people in the State, particularly farmers, to take advantage of its expertise and predictions to plan their planting seasons.

Ekiti State has witnessed very heavy rainfalls accompanied by storm which blew off the roofs of some houses and damaged perimeter fences of properties as well as created a flash flood mostly around Ajilosun Area in Ado Ekiti this year.
