Several parts of Accra were flooded on Wednesday after hours of heavy rainfall submerged roads, homes, and businesses, disrupting transportation and economic activities across the capital.
Communities affected by the flooding include Kaneshie, Pantang, Ashaley Botwe Lakeside, Ashaiman, Sakumono, Kanewu, Adjei Kojo, and portions of the Agbogba–Ashongman Road, among others.
At the Kaneshie Market, floodwaters swept through sections of the trading area, destroying goods and leaving many traders counting their losses.
The flooding comes as the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) forecasts a mix of thunderstorms, rain, mist, and periods of sunshine across the country between June 3 and June 5, 2026.
Although GMet has indicated that the overall weather risk remains low, it has urged the public to stay alert, particularly during the morning and evening hours when localised weather disturbances are more likely to occur.
Meanwhile, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) has issued a public safety advisory, warning residents in flood-prone communities to take precautionary measures against possible flash floods.
The Service said emergency response teams have been placed on standby and encouraged residents to promptly report emergencies through the national emergency number 112 or the Fire Management Centre lines 0302 772 446 and 0299 340 383.
Authorities continue to monitor the situation as residents assess the impact of the flooding in affected areas.
