The unpredictable nature of the forecast makes it particularly important for motorists travelling after dark to remain cautious.

Road users in these zones should allow for additional travel time and stay informed about conditions along their routes.

Ahead of Monday morning, October 5, GMet has flagged the likelihood of mist forming over forested and mountainous parts of the country.

The mist poses a visibility risk for early-morning commuters passing through elevated or heavily vegetated terrain.

Drivers heading into these areas are advised to slow down, activate appropriate vehicle lights and keep a safe following distance from other road users.

These precautions are especially relevant during the first hours after dawn, when mist tends to be thickest.

GMet regularly issues public forecasts to help Ghanaians plan their daily activities and respond to shifting weather patterns.

Residents are encouraged to check for updated information directly from the Ghana Meteorological Service, as conditions may evolve before and after the forecast period.
