Cases of Thunderstorms Expected Across Northern Ghana

Northern sector, Oti region

Thunder and rain clouds have been observed over the northeastern part of the country, expected to bring rainfall of varying intensity accompanied by thunder and lightning. These weather systems are forecast to spread across the Upper East, Northeast, Upper West, Northern, Savannah and Oti regions over the coming hours, with the potential for pockets of heavy rainfall and reduced visibility in the northern sector.

Residents in these regions are advised to take necessary precautions, including seeking shelter indoors during periods of heavy rain and lightning, avoiding open fields and standing under isolated trees, and unplugging electrical appliances where possible to prevent damage from lightning strikes. Motorists should exercise caution on the roads due to poor visibility and slippery conditions. Monitor official updates from the Ghana Meteorological Agency for further guidance as the storm progresses.
