The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has issued a weather alert, warning residents across the country to prepare for thunderstorms, strong winds, and possible flash flooding from this afternoon into the evening.
According to the 24-hour forecast, mist and fog patches are expected over mountainous and forested areas in the early hours, followed by slight to moderate rainfall along the coast.
As the day progresses, most parts of the country will experience sunny conditions interspersed with clouds.
GMet, however, cautioned that rainstorms accompanied by moderate to strong winds are expected to affect the coastal, middle, transition, and northern sectors later in the day. These conditions could lead to flash flooding in low-lying areas, particularly in cities such as Accra, Takoradi, Cape Coast, Kumasi, Sunyani, and Tamale.
The agency noted that the ongoing rainstorm over the southern half of the country is producing thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, which are expected to persist into the afternoon.
Residents are advised to take necessary precautions, avoid flooded areas, and secure loose objects that could be carried away by strong winds.
While the state of the sea remains calm, fishermen and coastal communities are urged to stay alert for updates.
