On September 2, 2021, some parts of Accra were flooded following more than five hours of rainfall.

There was gridlock in areas such as Tesano, Shiashie, Okponglo, where the roads were submerged, causing heavy traffic.

Also on Saturday, June 26, 2021, Accra experienced a 5-hour downpour. Some areas got flooded as a result.

The rains obstructed the flow of vehicular traffic on the Weija Barrier – West Hills Mall stretch of the Kasoa Highway, Haatso stretch, UPSA and Shiashie among other areas.

Many commuters were left stranded in traffic for hours. At Shiashie, some people left their cars in the flood because they were unable to drive through.
