The GMet predicted that within the Forest and Transition belt, conditions will be split.

Kete Krachi, Atebubu, Ejura and Kintampo are forecast to experience mostly cloudy skies, while Goaso, Sunyani, Techiman and Sampa will see mist during the morning period.

Cloudy conditions to cover northern Ghana

Northern Ghana will largely escape the mist, with mostly cloudy conditions forecast for Yendi, Tamale, Bole, Damongo, Bolgatanga, Nalerigu, Wa and Jirapa.

GMet has also flagged that the state of the sea is rough, which poses a concern for fishing communities and maritime activities along the coast.

The agency is urging residents to be cautious and drive carefully given the reduced visibility expected in affected areas during the early morning hours.
