Simultaneously, a separate rain storm is tracking from the coast of Benin toward the Ghanaian coastline. While the bulk of this offshore system is projected to move over the ocean, it is still capable of producing significant rainfall of varying intensity over coastal some coastal areas like Keta, Anloga, Ada, Tema, Accra and surroundings between 3PM and 6PM.</cap:description><cap:instruction>Residents in the Eastern and Volta regions as well as those in coastal communities, are advised to take precautionary measures ahead of the anticipated rainfall, including securing loose objects and avoiding low-lying or flood-prone areas. Motorists and commuters should exercise caution on roads, particularly during periods of heavy downpours, as reduced visibility and surface flooding are possible. Members of the public are encouraged to monitor updates from the Ghana Meteorological Agency and heed directives from local disaster management
