The agency attributed the incoming weather system to a rainstorm currently positioned over northern Benin, which is tracking westward and is set to bring thunderstorms and rainfall into northern Ghana.

As the day progresses, the wet conditions are forecast to broaden, reaching a handful of locations within the middle, transition, and northern sectors by the afternoon.

Mist and fog to greet southern Ghana

Conditions in the south tell a different story this morning. GMet is forecasting morning mist and fog alongside light rain for southern Ghana, creating low-visibility conditions that could affect road users and commuters during the early hours.

Motorists and pedestrians in Accra and other southern communities are advised to exercise caution while travelling in the morning, particularly on busy roads and highways where reduced visibility could pose safety risks.

GMet routinely issues daily forecasts to help Ghanaians plan their activities around changing weather patterns, especially during the rainy season when sudden and heavy downpours can cause localised flooding and disrupt transport.
