The spread of overcast skies across a large portion of the country suggests widespread atmospheric instability, with the northern belt bearing the brunt of the more severe weather activity.

The state of the sea has been described as rough, a development that carries implications for fishing communities along Ghana's coastline as well as maritime operations.

Fishermen and those engaged in sea-related activities are expected to take precautionary measures before venturing out.

Coastal communities should also remain alert to the possibility of light precipitation in addition to the rough sea conditions already flagged in the forecast.

The convergence of rough seas, thunderstorm activity in the north and misty overnight conditions paints a picture of broadly unsettled weather across the country into tomorrow morning.
