The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has issued an impact-based weather alert warning of moderate to heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, strong winds and possible localised flooding across parts of the country on Saturday, June 13, 2026.
According to the agency, a band of rain-bearing clouds earlier forecast has developed over sections of both coastal and inland areas and is expected to trigger showers, with or without thunderstorms, in several regions.
In its latest update issued at 0745 UTC, GMet indicated that parts of the Western, Central, Greater Accra and Volta regions are likely to experience rainstorms between 0745 UTC and 1000 UTC. These areas have been placed under “Be Prepared” and “Be Aware” alerts, signalling the possibility of weather-related disruptions.
The northern sector is also expected to be affected, with the Upper East, North East, Northern, Upper West and Savannah regions forecast to experience thunderstorms and heavy rainfall between 0745 UTC and 1400 UTC.
Some parts of the Upper West and Savannah regions are expected to face higher risk levels between 0945 UTC and 1500 UTC, with residents urged to take extra precaution due to the likelihood of more intense weather conditions.
GMet warned that the rainstorms may be accompanied by moderate to strong winds capable of damaging weak structures, uprooting trees and disrupting transportation.
The agency further cautioned that localised flooding could occur in low-lying and flood-prone communities, especially where heavy rainfall is sustained over short periods.
Residents have been advised to stay alert, avoid unnecessary movement during heavy rains, secure loose items around homes, and steer clear of floodwaters and storm drains.
