Climate: Kaduna State experiences a typical tropical continental climate with distinct seasonal regimes, oscillating between cool to hot dry and humid to wel. These two seasons reflect the influ- ences of tropical continental and equatorial mar itime airmasses which sweep over the entire coun try. However, in Kaduna State, the seasonality is pronounced with the cool to hot dry season being longer than the rainy season. Again, the spatial and temporal distribution of the rain varies. decreasing from an average of about 1530mm in [[Kafanchan|Kafanchan-Kagoro]] areas in the Southeast to about 1015mm in Ikara-Makarfi districts in the northeast. High storm intensities (ranging from 60mm hr-1 to 99mm hr-1) plus the nature of [[surface runoff]] build up the good network of medium sized river sys- temps High evaporation during the dry season ton however, creates water shortage problems espe cinity in [[Igabi]], [[Giwa]], [[Soba]], [[Makarfi]])and [[Ikara]] LGA.<ref name=":3">{{Cite journal |last=U. |first=Aleazu |date=1986 |title=Nigeria: After 25 years |journal=Nigeria |volume=2}}</ref>
