Deputy Director in charge of Forecasting at GMet, Joseph Poturphy, who disclosed this on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem, Tuesday, urged the public to be cautious due to expected heavy rainstorm and thunder.
He said though the rains in recent times may appear to be abnormal, they are not out of place, especially in the southern sector.
