The forecast, shared on X, 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.
A June of flooding and disasters
June 2026 will be remembered for the incidents of weather-related disruptions and disasters, and there were several instances of flooding, some of which even led to the loss of life.
For example, one person died after being swept away by floodwaters in Klagon following a downpour that hit parts of Accra on June 7.
These incidents were overshadowed by a building that collapsed at Avenor in North Kaneshie on June 7, leaving two people dead and others injured.

Amid the rain and flooding, the Accra Metropolitan Assembly shared a new list of flood-prone areas as the capital region continues to deal with flooding.
Several urban areas have experienced severe flooding in the past month as the rainy season takes hold.
The Accra Metropolitan Assembly shared the list of flood-prone areas on Facebook, as well as places considered safe havens from the floods in these areas.
