Prepare for more heavy rains – GMet tells Ghanaians

The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has issued a warning that the country should expect continued heavy and frequent rainfall in the coming days.

The advisory follows a recent rainstorm that triggered flooding in parts of the Greater Accra Region, including Pantang, Nsawam, Lakeside, and Kasoa.

Speaking on Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily on Monday, May 19, Felicity Ahafianyo, Head of GMet’s Central Analysis and Forecast Office, stressed the need for heightened public awareness during the ongoing rainy period.

She advised residents in flood-prone areas to consider relocating, noting that the seasonal downpours have already begun.

“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.

“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 added.

Ahafianyo also called on the media to support GMet’s efforts by regularly sharing weather updates to help keep the public informed and prepared.
