Northern Ghana under cloudy skies

Conditions in the north are expected to remain mostly cloudy throughout the morning. GMet listed Yendi, Tamale, Bole, Damongo, Bolgatanga, Nalerigu, Wa and Jirapa among the areas affected.

Unlike the south and forest zones, no mist warnings were issued for northern towns, though the agency advised the public to remain alert given the broader forecast of cool and overcast conditions.

GMet also issued a separate caution regarding sea conditions, describing the state of the sea as rough.

Fishing communities, boat operators and others with activities along the coast are advised to exercise care.

The agency urged all Ghanaians, particularly motorists, to drive carefully given the reduced visibility that mist and fog can cause during the early hours of the morning.
