The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has renewed its warning of severe thunderstorms, gusty winds, and possible flash floods across multiple regions of the country tonight. The alert follows a developing rainstorm system tracked from Benin and Togo, now moving westward into Ghana.

According to GMet’s Impact-Based Weather Warning, areas at high risk include parts of the Volta, Oti, Eastern, Northern, Western, Western North, Bono East, Ashanti, Savannah, and Greater Accra regions. Key areas like Accra, Tema, Ashaiman, and Madina are expected to experience significant weather activity between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm (1600–1900 UTC).

“Gusty winds may precede the storm. Flash floods are likely over low-lying areas, and poor visibility is anticipated,” the agency cautioned.

The alert categorizes some regions under “Take Action” and “Be Prepared” zones, highlighting increased risk of flooding, road disruptions, and damage to property—particularly in densely populated urban centers.

This comes in the wake of deadly floods on Sunday, May 18, which submerged major roads in Accra and claimed three lives, including a four-year-old girl, in separate incidents at Lakeside, Nanakrom, and New Legon.

Affected areas during Sunday’s storm included Weija, Kaneshie, Adabraka, Adenta-Dodowa, and Tema, where overflowing storm drains like the Odaw contributed to the devastation.

GMet is urging the public to remain indoors where possible, avoid flood-prone zones, and monitor official channels for updates. Commuters are advised to plan routes cautiously, and communities in at-risk areas are encouraged to activate emergency preparedness measures.
