The Coldest Community In Nigeria

The Coldest Community In Nigeria

OpenLife Nigeria has gathered that Gembu, a town in Sardauna Local Government Area of Taraba State has been identified as the coldest community in Nigeria.

Technically, with so many cold places in Nigeria, travellers have relatively given their opinions on which part of Nigeria is the coldest. That makes this topic very debatable.

Some people believe that the coldest place in Nigeria is Jos, Plateau State. The average temperature in Jos is around 21°C to 25°C, but it can drop as low as 7°C during the coldest months.

Taraba State, the state Gembu is located

Jos is located at an altitude of about 1,600 meters above sea level. The high altitude, combined with the dry Harmattan winds, makes Jos a very cold place.

But in all of this, many say that the coldest in Nigeria is Gembu, Taraba State.

Gembu is located on the Mambilla Plateau, which is the highest plateau in Nigeria.

With temperatures varying from 11.7°C to 27.8°C and rarely below 9.4°C or above 31.1°C, Gembu is considered the coldest place in Nigeria.

The average temperature in Gembu is around 18°C, but it can drop to as low as 9.4°C during the coldest months.

Speaking to OpenLife Friday afternoon, a geographer and frequent traveller to all parts of Nigeria, Akintunde Bamidele said:

“Gembu is the coolest in the country, I visited the town about four times.

“They don’t own fridge, air-condition and fan in their hotel rooms due to excessive cold temperature, the only town in Nigeria where people don’t use such gadgets to air or cool their room.”
