Residents and commuters in those towns have been urged to take precautions ahead of any storm activity.
In addition to the inland weather warnings, GMet noted that sea conditions are currently rough. Fishing communities, boat operators, and anyone planning maritime activities along Ghana's coast have been advised to exercise heightened caution.
The agency urged all Ghanaians to stay safe and drive carefully, particularly in areas where reduced visibility from mist or fog could increase the risk of road accidents during the morning commute.
