While conditions are not expected to be severe in the morning hours, GMet advised that some wet weather could catch residents off guard.

As the day progresses into the afternoon, brighter and sunnier spells are anticipated, though these will be punctuated by periods of cloud cover.

Northern Ghana, the transition zone, and sections of the middle belt face the highest risk of isolated to scattered thunderstorms forming during the afternoon and evening.

Rough sea conditions pose danger for fishermen

One of the most critical advisories in GMet's forecast concerns the state of Ghana's waters.

The agency described sea conditions as ROUGH, a warning that directly affects the fishing community and all those whose livelihoods or travel depend on the coastline.

Fishermen, boat operators, and maritime workers are strongly encouraged to heed this warning and avoid venturing into open waters until conditions improve.

GMet closed its bulletin with a safety reminder, urging all Ghanaians to stay safe as they navigate the day's changing weather patterns.
