Instructions

While it’s safe to go about your daily activities, be mindful of the weather. Carry an umbrella or raincoat to stay dry and avoid open areas during thunderstorms to reduce the risk of lightning strikes. If you need to travel, drive carefully as roads may be slippery. Reduce your speed and maintain a safe distance from other vehicles. Be cautious of any localized water pooling on the roads. Keep an eye on weather updates from the Ghana Meteorological Agency. Use reliable sources such as local news, radio, and official social media channels to stay informed about any changes in the weather conditions.
