WARNING: Rain over Southern Ghana

Area

southern Ghana

Event description

Rain clouds are currently engulfing parts of the Greater Accra, Eastern, and Volta regions, bringing rainfall of varying intensity to those areas. As the day progresses, the storm system is forecast to expand its coverage, with more areas within these regions expected to experience rainfall this afternoon. The storm will then shift westward, extending to parts of the Ashanti, Western, Central, and Western North regions, where rain of varying intensity is anticipated later in the afternoon into the evening.

Instructions

If you are in any of the affected regions, carry a rain jacket or umbrella when heading outdoors, and avoid unnecessary travel during periods of heavy rainfall. Drivers are advised to slow down and exercise caution on wet roads, as visibility may be reduced and surfaces slippery. Residents in flood-prone areas should remain alert. Stay tuned to official weather updates from Ghana Meteorological Agency and follow any directives issued by local authorities and NADMO to ensure your safety throughout the day.
