The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has warned of continued heavy and frequent rainfall in the coming days, following recent flooding in parts of Greater Accra, including Pantang, Nsawam, Lakeside, and Kasoa.
Felicity Ahafianyo, Head of GMet’s Central Analysis and Forecast Office, is urging the public to be extra cautious during the rainy season.
She recommends that residents in flood-prone areas consider relocating temporarily, as the seasonal heavy rains have already started.
“On Friday, we had a similar event in the Volta Region, where it also rained for more than an hour. This is how it is going to be until we end the major rainy season over the southern sector” she stated.
She urged the media to support GMet’s efforts by regularly sharing weather updates to help keep the public informed and prepared.
“When we came out with the seasonal forecast, we indicated that it is likely the intensity may be more or higher, and in terms of the frequency, too, it is something that we need to be abreast with. It has started already. As we witnessed yesterday along the coast,” she said.
