The Ghana Meteorological Agency noted that this weather pattern is influenced by a storm originating from Cameroon.

Under favourable weather conditions, this storm is predicted to drift steadily towards Ghana, bringing rain and thunderstorms late in the afternoon and into the night.

The agency urged the Ghanaians in the relevant areas to be cautious ahead of the thunderstorms.

Earlier thunderstorm warnings

The Ghana Meteorological Agency has already warned Ghanaians to expect more rain and thunderstorms after a recent downpour.

The agency urged Ghanaians living in low-lying and flood-prone areas to move to higher ground during the rainy season to avoid being caught by flash floods.

A storm on Monday, May 6, 2024, led to some flooding in Accra and trees collapsing on vehicles across the capital.

There are concerns that the intensity of these rainstorms may be due to climate change affecting the country’s weather pattern, intensifying rainstorms and heat waves.
