The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has issued a weather alert warning of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms expected to hit several parts of the country, particularly across the middle and transition belts.

According to GMet, a developing rainstorm currently gaining strength is producing thunderstorms and heavy rain over Wenchi, Sunyani, Nsoatre, Kumawu, and Dadieso, as well as surrounding areas.

The agency said the storm is likely to move westward, extending to parts of the Bono, Bono East, Ahafo, Ashanti, and Eastern regions. Portions of the Western North, Central, and Western regions may also experience rain later in the morning.

GMet cautioned that the weather system will be accompanied by moderate to strong winds, advising residents, especially those in flood-prone areas, to take safety precautions.

Meanwhile, coastal areas are expected to experience isolated thunderstorms or rain interspersed with sunny periods, while the northern sector will remain mostly sunny throughout the day.

The agency also warned that sea conditions will be rough, posing risks to fishing and other marine activities.
