• The Ghana Meteorological Agency issued its morning weather forecast for Thursday, 22 October 2026
• Mist and fog patches are expected along the coast and forested areas of southern Ghana, reducing visibility
• Northern Ghana starts partly cloudy but afternoon sunshine is expected, while thunderstorms may hit parts of the middle and transition zones

The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has released its weather forecast for Thursday, 22 October 2026, outlining conditions across the country from the early hours through to the afternoon.

Southern Ghana is waking up to mostly cloudy skies this morning, with mist and fog patches forming along the coastline and over forested areas.

These conditions are likely to reduce visibility for early morning commuters and motorists, so road users in those zones are advised to exercise caution.

As the day progresses, sunshine is expected to break through the cloud cover. However, residents in the middle belt, transition zone, and inland coastal areas should remain alert, as scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are possible later in the afternoon.
