Ghana Meteorological Agency predicts heavy rainfall
The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMET) has
predicted higher chances of heavy rainfall over
the country this year.

In an interview with XFM 95.1, the Principal
Meteorologist at the Ghana Meteorological Service,
Mr. Amos Narh, stated that many parts of the
country would have above normal rainfall pattern
this year.

Mr. Narh said that the major raining season for
the Southern part of the country started in March
and is expected to end in July after which the
minor season will follow from September.

He however stated that the Northern part of the
country would have only one rainy season, which
would begin from May through to September. He
cautioned the public to remain indoors during such
rainfalls and strong winds, which could blow
anything in its way.

The Principal Meteorologist further cautioned the
public to avoid coming into contact with flying
objects, which could injure them during strong
winds. He added that the systems move from East
through to the West and this could change the
weather pattern in no time.
