The forecast indicates that southern Ghana faces the highest likelihood of rainfall and thunderstorm activity during the evening and overnight hours. Residents in those areas are advised to take precautions ahead of the wet conditions.
Some localities in the transition and northern sectors are also included in the outlook, meaning the weather disruption is not confined to the south alone.
As night gives way to early morning, mist and fog are forecast to develop across coastal, forest, and hilly parts of the country.
Such conditions can significantly reduce visibility on roads and at sea, making careful driving and navigation essential for anyone travelling in the affected areas during the early hours.
Residents in these zones are encouraged to allow extra time for journeys and to exercise caution, particularly on highways and routes that pass through forested or elevated terrain.
The list of areas to suffer thunderstorms was shared in an update on X.
What was the weather like on June 25?
There were mostly cloudy conditions over the southern half of the country with slight to moderate rain.
