Double rainstorms are expected to strike the nation today, Thursday, May 16, 2024, according to a weather notice issued by the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet).
The first storm to originate in Nigeria is predicted to arrive about 9:30 am, based on the forecast that was made public early on Thursday morning.
According to the weather forecast, there will be significant rainfall, wind, and thunder in parts of Ghana’s northern and coastal regions.
GMet has issued a warning, advising those living in flood-prone areas to be on the lookout and take the appropriate precautions, due to the high danger of flooding and windstorms.
The agency’s warning follows a string of intense rainstorms that caused devastation in several areas of Accra, uprooting trees and smashing a number of automobiles and billboards.
“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,” the statement said.
