Flooding is the most frequently experienced phenomenon by any country, especially in Southeast Asia. Over the past several decades, the frequency and the severity of flooding had significantly increased. Loss of lives and property immediate impacts of flooding include loss of physical life, damage to property, destruction of crops, loss of livestock, non-functioning of infrastructure facilities and deterioration of health condition owing to waterborne diseases. Loss of livelihoods and communication links and infrastructure are damaged and disrupted, economic activities come to a standstill, resulting in dislocation and the dysfunction of normal life for a period much beyond the duration of the flooding. Field data and number of houses were randomly selected. The use of sampling is to concentrate effort to produce better quality results and get more in-depth information. The polynomial analysis of average temperature has shown that from 2000-2012 temperature distributions was bisected from the curve line indicating lowest temperature at that period. While the upper skewed variables of temperature denotes slightly higher due to increase in global warming and climate change. And this interoperation has a salient and fundamental impact in triggering flood in most part of Nigeria not only FCT-Abuja. The impact of climate change in the study area has attributed to flood even by increase in temperature and rainfall. The data obtained from the NiMET also justified the assertion.
