The agency urged Ghanaians to remain alert to changing weather conditions, particularly those with travel plans or outdoor activities scheduled for the evening.

GMet advises public to plan ahead

GMet called on the public to monitor the skies closely and take precautionary measures ahead of the anticipated storms.

The agency specifically highlighted the importance of planning journeys around the forecast, especially for those heading into or through the affected regions later in the day.

Thunderstorms in Ghana's northern regions during this period are consistent with seasonal weather patterns, as the country moves through its rainy season.

The Transition and Northern Sectors typically experience more intense convective activity during this time of year, making storm warnings particularly significant for communities in those areas.

Residents across the affected zones are advised to secure property, avoid flooded routes and stay indoors where possible once conditions begin to deteriorate later in the evening.
