The forecast comes as heavy rains on Monday morning caused severe flooding in several parts of Accra and surrounding areas, disrupting transportation and commercial activities.

The Ghana School of Law has also rescheduled examinations scheduled for Monday to Tuesday.

The Ministry of the Interior has issued a public safety advisory urging residents to remain where they are and avoid unnecessary movement, while the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) has activated emergency response teams across affected areas .

GMet's forecast advises the public to remain cautious as rain-bearing clouds persist, with the possibility of further flooding in low-lying and flood-prone areas. The Agency continues to monitor the situation and provide updates.
