Residents and motorists in these areas are advised to take precautions, as the combination of heavy rain and strong winds poses risks to travel and outdoor activities.

Mist and fog to affect southern Ghana

Conditions in southern Ghana tell a different story. GMet has forecast mist and fog patches forming across much of the south this morning, with mostly cloudy skies expected to persist.

Visibility is likely to be reduced during the early hours, creating potentially hazardous driving conditions.

Coastal and inland areas, including Accra, Kumasi, Aflao, and Anloga, face a slight chance of light rains or drizzle.

While the rainfall in the south is not expected to be severe, the reduced visibility from fog remains a concern for morning commuters.

GMet has also flagged rough sea conditions, urging those with activities along Ghana's coastline to exercise caution.

The agency's advisory called on the public to stay safe and drive carefully in light of the prevailing weather.
