Several regions in Ghana experienced a heavy downpour in the early hours of Sunday, beginning around 3:30 a.m. and continuing into the morning, in line with forecasts from the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet).
The rains were steady and intense across many areas, with low-lying communities in Greater Accra, Ashanti, and Central regions particularly affected by waterlogging.
In Accra, areas such as Nima and Alajo were flooded, causing disruptions to traffic and daily activities.
GMet reported that the downpour was linked to a rainstorm previously located south of Benin, which moved westwards, bringing cloudiness, thunderstorms, and rain of varying intensities across coastal areas and parts of the middle sector.
A localised rainstorm that had formed in the middle sector also spread westwards, impacting parts of the transition sector.
Strong winds accompanied the storms, prompting warnings for residents to remain indoors to avoid accidents.
Authorities have yet to release any official reports of casualties or major property damage.
Residents are being urged to exercise caution as rainfall continues in some areas.
