Additionally, mist and fog patches are expected to develop during the early hours of the day over coastal, forested, and hilly terrain, potentially reducing visibility for motorists and commuters.

Afternoon sunshine expected

The overcast conditions are forecast to ease as the day progresses, with cloud cover gradually giving way to sunshine during the afternoon.

However, not all parts of the country will enjoy a dry afternoon.

Sections of the middle sector and some locations situated inland from the coast may still encounter slight to moderate rainfall later in the day.

GMet also warned that the state of the sea is rough, which could pose hazards for fishing communities and maritime activities along Ghana's coastline.

The agency urged the public to stay safe as the unsettled weather pattern continues across multiple regions of the country.
