The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMET) has warned residents of flood-prone regions to relocate to higher areas, as more rain is expected in the coming days.
Parts of the country have seen significant rainfall recently, particularly on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning.
The GMET forecasts a continuation of rainy conditions in the coming weeks.
The Deputy Director at GMET, Joseph Tetteh Portuphy, emphasized the importance of heightened vigilance during this period.
“We should know that we are getting into the flooding period, because any little rain, the ground will be saturated. Once the ground is saturated, any additional rain will cause a flash flood. So, this is the period that at least we need to desilt the gutters.
“And also make sure that at least those of us who are in houses, areas that are flood prone, the moment you hear that it is going to rain, please, take caution and move to higher ground or find somewhere and go. After the rains, then you come back,” he advised.
