The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has urged the public and residents of low-lying areas along the coastal regions of Ghana to be wary of possible floods as it projects more rains from late afternoon to evening on June 16, 2025.
According to a report on GMet’s X Account on June 16, 2025, it stated that the southern Ghana, especially areas along the coast, is currently experiencing widespread low clouds.
“What are flash floods? Sudden floods that happen quickly after heavy rain, especially in low-lying or poorly drained areas. Stay safe and avoid floodwaters, move to higher ground, unplug appliances,” post stated.
In a subsequent, update it predicted more rain later in the day.
“As indicated earlier in the evening forecast, low clouds have engulfed southern Ghana particularly over areas along the coast. These clouds are expected to produce pockets of rain with varying intensity within southern Ghana tonight,” the post stated.
This aligns with earlier forecasts, which predicted pockets of rainfall of varying intensities throughout the night.
The presence of these low-lying clouds indicates a likelihood of precipitation across the southern regions.
