After several days of unsettled weather patterns across the country, Ghana enters a relatively calm Tuesday with mostly sunny and bright conditions expected to dominate the day. The Ghana Meteorological Agency, in its latest 24-hour impact-based forecast, reports that mist and fog patches will mark the early hours over the coastal, forest, and hilly regions, reducing visibility for motorists. However, as the day progresses, widespread sunshine is expected to brighten the skies, though isolated thunderstorms are forecast later in the afternoon, particularly over the forest and transition zones.
Coastal Zone:
Communities along the coast including Accra, Cape Coast, Takoradi, and Axim will experience partly cloudy skies in the morning, accompanied by patches of mist. Rainfall is expected through the afternoons and evenings in Cape Coast, Takoradi, Axim and Ho. Temperatures are expected to range from 23°C in the early morning to highs of about 32°C in the afternoon.
Forest Zone:
The forest belt, covering areas such as Kumasi, Obuasi, Koforidua, and Sefwi Bekwai, will begin the day with mist and light clouds. From mid-morning through the afternoon, bright sunshine will dominate, though localized thunderstorms are likely later in the day. Maximum temperatures will peak around 33°C.
Transition Zone:
Parts of Techiman, Goaso, and Kintampo will enjoy a mix of sunshine and clouds throughout the day, with conditions remaining dry until late afternoon. By evening, isolated thunderstorms may develop over some areas, with temperatures rising to about 33°C.
Northern Zone:
The northern regions, including Tamale, Wa, and Yendi, will remain mostly sunny and hot, with temperatures expected to soar up to 36°C. Evening conditions will turn partly cloudy, offering slight relief from the daytime heat. Below is a comprehensive scorecard shared by the agency.
NB: The stage of the sea is ROUGH hence distal and maritime activities should be done with extra caution. From the start of the forecast, there will be some cloud cover in Ghana’s maritime area. The intermittent cloud cover will give way to sunny spells as the day approaches the afternoon. Stay informed, stay safe. Thanks for your time.
