The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has cautioned the public to prepare for an increase in heavy precipitation events over the next few weeks, noting that the month of June represents the absolute peak of the country's primary rainy season.

Appearing on the Asaase Breakfast Show on Monday, June 8, 2026, GMet meteorologist Frederick Cudjoe explained that recent torrential downpours, which registered over 60mm of rainfall within the capital city of Accra, align with historical seasonal data.

However, he emphasized that these storms now present a significantly elevated danger of flooding because the ground has already reached maximum water saturation. Under these specific conditions, any incoming rainfall is highly likely to convert immediately into rapid flash floods rather than absorbing into the soil.

According to GMet's active meteorological models, southern Ghana is projected to experience at least two to four additional major rainstorms before the conclusion of June, punctuated by periods of intermittent, lighter rainfall over the next several days.

Cudjoe pointed directly to global climate change as a core catalyst behind the intensifying severity of these regional weather systems. He noted that a measurable rise in both daytime and nocturnal temperatures has increased ambient water vapor levels in the atmosphere, fueling the generation of heavier and more volatile storm systems.

While the meteorological agency continues to generate multiple daily short-range forecasts and emergency alerts, Cudjoe stressed that public safety depends heavily on citizens actively monitoring these updates through mainstream media and verified state digital channels.

He issued a strong advisory directing residents living within low-lying or flood-prone communities to proactively relocate to safer, higher ground when severe weather threatens.

Furthermore, the meteorologist warned both drivers and pedestrians to strictly avoid traveling through standing or moving floodwaters, urging individuals to remain safely indoors whenever severe convective storms are active.
