The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has issued a rain alert for southern Ghana, warning of approaching thunderstorms and heavy rainfall expected to affect several regions throughout Sunday afternoon and evening. A significant rain cloud has enveloped the southeast of the country and is forecast to spread across the Volta, Eastern, and Greater Accra regions.

Localized rain clouds have also been observed in the Oti, Central, Western, and Ashanti regions. The agency anticipates these conditions will intensify, bringing rain accompanied by thunder and occasional strong winds. The alert is effective from 3:05 PM and is set to expire at 9:00 PM on June 14, 2026, with the event classified as moderate in severity.

Residents in the affected regions are advised to take precautionary measures ahead of the approaching rains. Avoid outdoor activities during heavy downpours, and stay clear of flooded roads and waterways.

Residents in the affected areas, which include Volta, Oti, Eastern, Greater Accra, Bono East, Ashanti, Central, and Western regions, are strongly advised to take necessary precautions. This includes avoiding outdoor activities during heavy downpours and staying clear of flooded roads and waterways. The public is urged to remain updated via official weather bulletins.

The alert comes at a critical time, as some parts of southern Ghana are still dealing with the aftermath of recent floods and the controlled spillage of the Weija Dam last month. Authorities have previously identified flood-prone areas and are urging motorists to exercise caution and avoid driving through flooded zones. Residents in low-lying areas are encouraged to monitor water levels and be prepared to move to higher ground if necessary.
