The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has warned of localised thunderstorms and rain across Accra, Kasoa, and parts of the Ashanti Region later today, according to its 24-hour forecast issued Thursday morning.

Areas likely to be affected include Accra, Kasoa, Kumasi, Obuasi, Tarkwa, Cape Coast, Takoradi, Axim, and Sefwi Bekwai.

GMet reported that mist and fog patches formed over coastal, forest, and hilly areas in the early hours, reducing visibility for commuters.

By mid-morning, sunny conditions are expected nationwide, but these will give way to unstable weather patterns in the afternoon.

The agency says thunderstorms or rain will affect parts of the coastal belt, as well as the middle and transition zones, continuing into the evening. Northern Ghana is expected to remain fairly dry and slightly hazy throughout the day.

The forecast also notes relatively cool nighttime and early morning temperatures over the upper regions, while sea conditions are expected to remain rough.
