Ghana is bracing for a severe weather forecast, as the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has issued a warning of two rainstorms heading for the country on Thursday, May 16.

The agency’s weather monitoring station has observed the development of double rainstorms, which are expected to bring heavy rainfall, strong winds, and thunderstorms to various parts of the country.

According to the forecast released by GMet on Thursday morning,

the Nigerian storm should kick in around 9:30 am.

Areas within the coastal and northern sectors will be hit by heavy rainfall accompanied by strong winds and thundery conditions.

“A rainstorm that is moderately producing thunderstorms with rain over northern Benin into Togo is expected to drift further westwards to affect the northern half of Ghana.

However, a separate rainstorm observed over Nigeria is also expected to propagate westwards to affect the coastal and middle sectors of the country,” the statement read.

The affected areas are expected to experience heavy rainfall, accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms.

The risk of flooding and windstorms is high, and residents within potential flooding areas are advised to be alert and take necessary action.
