GMet issues a notice about upcoming weather disturbances across the country
The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has issued a notice about impending weather disturbances set to sweep across the country on Thursday, May 16.
Their morning forecast indicates the arrival of two rainstorms, with one from Nigeria expected to make landfall around 9:30 am.
Coastal and northern regions are expected to experience heavy downpours, strong winds, and thunderstorms.
The statement detailed, “A rainstorm that is moderately producing thunderstorms with rain over northern Benin into Togo is expected to drift further westwards to affect the northern half of Ghana. However, a separate rainstorm observed over Nigeria is also expected to propagate westwards to affect the coastal and middle sectors of the country.”
GMet warned of increased flooding and wind damage risks, urging residents in vulnerable areas to stay alert and take necessary precautions.
