Parts of Ghana are expected to experience thunderstorms later tonight, as generally sunny conditions gradually give way to increasing cloud cover and rainfall, particularly across the southern half of the country.

According to the latest weather forecast, most areas will remain sunny this afternoon, although occasional cloudiness is expected over some parts of southern Ghana.

From late afternoon into the evening, localised thunderstorms or rainfall are likely to develop in selected areas.

The locations expected to be affected include:

• Ho
• Koforidua
• Akim Oda
• Kumasi
• Obuasi
• Tarkwa

Residents in these areas have been advised to prepare for possible evening storms, including brief heavy rainfall and lightning activity.

Northern Ghana to Remain Dry and Hazy

Meanwhile, northern Ghana is expected to remain dry and hazy throughout the forecast period.

Visibility in the north is projected to range between 3,000 and 8,000 metres, largely due to persistent dry conditions.

Cold Nights and Fire Safety Warning
