On the rainstorm sighted in northern Benin, it is expected to move westwards and affect the northern sector with thunderstorms or rain later in the day.

Bridge in Wa collapses after heavy rains
YEN.com.gh reported earlier that residents of Meteu and adjoining agricultural communities within the Wa West District had been completely cut off from the rest of the region.
The severe structural failure occurred following a violent, prolonged downpour, which triggered flash floods that violently breached and collapsed the community bridge.
The disaster has left hundreds of commuters stranded, paralysing local trade and healthcare services, and leaving vulnerable school pupils unable to safely return home again.
