The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has released its weather forecast for Friday, August 21, 2026, warning residents in several parts of the country to prepare for a day of shifting conditions.

The day is set to begin on a grey note, with mostly cloudy skies across the country. Residents living along the coast, within forested zones, and in hilly areas should be particularly cautious in the early hours, as mist and fog patches are likely to settle over those regions and reduce visibility significantly.

Commuters heading out first thing in the morning are advised to take extra care on the roads.
