Further north, conditions will be noticeably different during the afternoon hours. Northern Ghana is expected to enjoy sunny periods, though the evening will bring partly cloudy skies alongside the possibility of thunderstorms and rain.

Akufo-Addo fingered in $65m flood money diversion
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that the Ministry of Finance had disclosed that the Akufo-Addo government redirected $65m from a World Bank flood protection loan to finance COVID-19 spending.
Technical Advisor Frederick Amissah said the diversion was unjustified, as the government had other funding options.
Of the $65 million diverted from the GARID Project, $60.8 million has been retired, with $4.2 million still outstanding.
