Ghana can expect a varied weather day, according to the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMET). Morning drizzle is forecast for coastal towns stretching from Aflao through Accra to Axim, with a 40% chance of occurrence. Temperatures in these areas will range from 22°C to 24°C in the morning, rising to a maximum of 30°C by afternoon.

Inland, the middle belt, including cities like Kumasi and Koforidua, will experience misty conditions in the early hours. Forecasters warn this could reduce visibility in forested and hilly areas. Temperatures here will climb from around 23°C or 24°C in the morning to as high as 33°C in the afternoon.

These areas would see temperatures rise from around 23°C or 24°C in the morning to as high as 33°C in the afternoon.

The northern sector, covering Tamale, Bolgatanga, and Wa, will see mostly cloudy skies in the morning. There's a heightened chance of rainfall over Bolgatanga and Nalerigu, with a 40% probability. By afternoon, thunderstorm activity is expected to increase sharply across the north, with places like Wa and Jirapa facing a 60% probability of thunderstorms with rain.

Regions likely to bear the brunt of this system include the Upper West, Upper East, North East, Savannah and Northern regions, all of which fall under the "Be Aware" and, in parts, "Low Risk" categories on the GMA's impact-based risk mapping.

The agency attributes these deteriorating conditions to developing thunder and rain-bearing clouds moving in from Nigeria. This system is expected to propagate westward, affecting the north and transition belts. Southern Ghana will also see thunderstorms of varying intensities develop in the afternoon and evening, with Accra and Ho having a 40% chance of thunderstorms by midday.

The GMET has also issued a rough sea advisory, rating conditions as "Rough (2)" and cautioning fishermen and sea travelers to exercise care. Maximum temperatures are expected to reach 34°C in the northern sector, making it the warmest part of the country.
