The more disruptive weather is expected later in the day. From late afternoon, GMet forecast the likelihood of thunderstorms and rainfall across parts of the transition zone and the northern sectors of the country.

Ghanaians living or travelling through those areas on Friday should make necessary preparations ahead of the anticipated downpours, which could be accompanied by thunder and potentially strong winds typical of late-season storm activity.

The rest of the country is expected to experience relatively mild conditions for most of the day before any significant weather activity sets in.
