GMet's thunderstorms forecast for the day

Conditions are set to deteriorate from the afternoon into the evening, with thunderstorms accompanied by rain likely to affect coastal areas as well as inland parts of the country.

GMet has specifically flagged that a rainstorm currently situated over northern Benin and Togo is moving slowly in a westward direction.

This weather system is forecast to generate increased cloud cover and trigger thunderstorms with rain over sections of northern Ghana.

Residents in the affected zones are advised to take note of the evolving weather conditions throughout the day, particularly those in low-lying areas or locations historically prone to flooding during periods of heavy rainfall.

GMet regularly publishes weather advisories to keep the public informed of significant meteorological developments, particularly during Ghana's rainy season when storm activity intensifies across the country's northern and southern zones.

Mahama challenged over Accra floods

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Ghanaian rapper Kwaw Kese had pushed back against President Mahama's claim that flooding in Accra was not an engineering problem in a statement shared online on June 1, 2026.

The rapper had pointed to inadequate drainage systems and poorly designed infrastructure, citing the Klagon Bridge as a specific example of failing flood management.

Kwaw Kese's remarks had drawn mixed reactions online, with some Ghanaians backing his position, while others argued that human behaviour remained the root cause.
