Another resident, Adeleke Bayo, said, “It was not expected though we heard in Lagos and Ibadan downpour had been recorded but I did not expect this early in Ogbomoso, nonetheless, it is a relief, the heat in the last few days has been discomfiting. It started with harmattan then heat after the new year. Hope, this will not trigger greater heat or harmattan.”
