Certain locations in southern Ghana also faced the possibility of light rain or drizzle during the early hours.
Conditions were forecast to fluctuate between sunshine and cloud cover as the day progressed, while northern Ghana was expected to remain largely sunny.
However, GMet cautioned that by late afternoon and into the evening, thunderstorms or significant rainfall could develop over the Transition and Northern Sectors.
The agency encouraged the public to plan ahead and remain weather-aware given the unsettled forecast.
What Ghanaians should expect
The alert covers a broad geographic spread, meaning commuters, farmers, and outdoor workers across multiple regions need to account for rapidly changing weather conditions.
The potential for thunderstorms in the northern and transition zones poses particular concern for communities engaged in farming and those travelling on roads prone to flooding or reduced visibility during heavy downpours.
GMet regularly monitors and publishes daily weather updates to help the public and relevant institutions manage weather-related risks across Ghana's diverse climate zones.
