The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has forecast thunderstorms and rain across parts of northern and transition Ghana today as an active rainstorm currently situated along the Nigeria-Benin border is expected to move westwards during the day.
In its 18-hour weather outlook, the agency said the weather system is likely to affect portions of the northern and transition belts from mid-morning into the afternoon, increasing the chances of widespread thunderstorms accompanied by rain of varying intensity.
The forecast indicates that early morning conditions across much of the country will be dominated by mostly cloudy skies, with patches of mist and fog expected over sections of the coast, forest and mountainous areas. The reduced visibility is expected to ease later in the morning as temperatures rise.
GMet said slight to moderate rain is likely over a few coastal communities during the morning before weather conditions become more unstable.
As the day progresses, most coastal and inland areas are expected to experience intervals of sunshine followed by increasing cloud cover and thunderstorms with rain extending into the afternoon and evening.
Northern communities, including Tamale, Yendi, Bolgatanga, Nalerigu, Wa and Damongo, are expected to bear the greatest impact of the advancing rainstorm, with thunderstorms forecast from the morning through the afternoon. Parts of the transition belt, including Kete Krachi, Atebubu, Ejura and Kintampo, are also likely to experience thunderstorm activity later in the day.
