The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has cautioned the public to brace for more frequent and intense rainstorms as the country moves further into the major rainy season, particularly in the southern parts of Ghana.
“When we came out with the seasonal forecast, we indicated that it is likely the intensity may be more or higher, and in terms of the frequency, too, it is something that we need to be abreast with.
“It has started already. As we witnessed yesterday along the coast,” said Felicity Ahafianyo, Head of GMet’s Central Analysis and Forecast Office.
Her remarks come in the wake of a recent downpour that caused severe flooding in multiple parts of the Greater Accra Region, including Pantang, Nsawam, Lakeside, and Kasoa.
“On Friday, we had a similar event in the Volta Region, where it also rained for more than an hour. This is how it is going to be until we end the major rainy season over the southern sector,” she added, while speaking on Channel One TV’s Breakfast Daily on Monday, May 19.
