Event Description
A rainstorm is currently tracking over the Eastern to central parts of Ghana's marine space and is expected to drift westward. Vessels and fisherfolks in these waters should anticipate rain and windy conditions. These conditions are expected to lead to reduced visibility which may affect navigation, increased wave height and choppy seas, potential wind gusts that could impact stability, and possible delays to fishing and commercial operations.
Instructions
Vessel operators and fisherfolks are advised to monitor weather updates, secure equipment, check safety systems, and consider delaying non-essential voyages until conditions improve.
