The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has issued an urgent weather warning in response to the intense rainfall battering the southern regions of Ghana.

The agency has traced the source of the downpour to a rainstorm originating from southern Togo, which is forecasted to move westward.

This system is expected to bring thunderstorms or rain of varying intensities to southern Ghana, along with increased cloudiness.

Residents should anticipate moderate to strong winds accompanying the rainstorm in certain areas.

Today, from 7 to 11 AM, locales such as Aflao, Keta, Dzodze, Anloga, Ho, Ada Foah, Accra, Kasoa, Dodowa, Madina, Nsawam, Koforidua, Akim Oda, and nearby areas are advised to take necessary precautions against the expected heavy rainfall.

Conversely, Cape Coast, Tarkwa, Axim, Takoradi, and their vicinities are projected to face a lower risk.

Mariners are warned that the sea state is likely to be turbulent.
