The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has warned Ghanaians that more rainfall and thunderstorms are expected across southern Ghana.
According to the GMet, the rains are expected to ease on Tuesday and Wednesday before intensifying again from Thursday through Sunday.
In a JOYNEWS card, GMet was quoted to have said, “Rains expected to ease on Tuesday and Wednesday before intensifying again from Thursday through Sunday”.
Also, on Tuesday, June 30, GMet, in an impact-based weather update issued, revealed a slow-moving rainstorm observed off the coast of Benin is expected to move westwards, bringing increased cloud cover and rainfall to several parts of the country.
GMet forecast revealed slight to moderate thunderstorms with rain over the Volta, Greater Accra, Eastern and Central regions from Tuesday morning through the afternoon, adding that the weather system is expected to extend later in the day to parts of the Ashanti, Bono, Ahafo, Western North and Western regions.
“The storm will trigger rain-bearing clouds and produce thunderstorms or rain over Ashanti, Bono, Ahafo and Western North regions later in the day,” the forecast stated.
They further cautioned the public to remain alert for hazards associated with the storms.
They forecast that Greater Accra, Volta, Central and Eastern regions have a high probability (greater than 60%) of experiencing rainfall between 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.
Also, Western, Ashanti, Ahafo, Western North and Bono regions are expected to experience rain and thunderstorms between 10:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., with a medium to high probability (40–60%).
It will be recalled that the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMeT) had earlier warned Ghanaians of more rains across both coastal and inland areas in the coming days before yesterday’s torrential rains, which caused widespread flooding across parts of Accra, resulting in the deaths of many Ghanaians.
According to the GMeT, residents must be alert and stay away from flood-prone communities.
Joseph Tetteh Portuphy, the Deputy Director in charge of Forecasting at GmeT, explains that further rains are expected.
He cautioned that places already saturated can trigger flooding in vulnerable communities.
Speaking to Citi News, the Deputy Director in charge of Forecasting at GmeT stated, “Over the coast and inland areas… but for us on the eastern coast, since it is a system that is passing, later in the day it will come down. Places are already flooded. Any little rain that comes again will flood the places. So we should be cautious and avoid places that are already saturated and already flooded”.
“We should also make sure that they stay tuned to the weather information. As I said, we are still in June. And until we get out of June, we should expect more of these rains to come,” he added.
