Chapter One: Introduction
Background of the Study
Weather plays a pivotal role in the planning and execution of outdoor events, directly influencing attendance, logistics, and overall event success. In Wukari Local Government Area, Taraba State, outdoor events such as cultural festivals, agricultural shows, and religious gatherings are integral to community life. However, the region’s climate variability—ranging from intense rainfall to extreme heat—poses significant challenges for event organizers and attendees. Studies indicate that unpredictable weather can disrupt event schedules, compromise safety, and increase logistical costs (Adeleke & Yusuf, 2023; Ibekwe et al., 2024). Despite these challenges, proactive measures such as the use of weather forecasting tools and contingency planning can mitigate weather-related risks. This study explores the impact of weather on outdoor events in Wukari, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning to ensure successful event execution.
Statement of the Problem
Outdoor events in Wukari LGA often face disruptions due to adverse weather conditions, resulting in reduced attendance, financial losses, and compromised safety. Despite the availability of weather forecasting technologies, many event organizers lack access to or fail to utilize these resources effectively. Additionally, limited awareness about climate-resilient event planning further exacerbates the problem. This study seeks to address these issues by examining the extent of weather's impact on outdoor events and identifying strategies to minimize associated risks in Wukari LGA.
