Meteo predicts flash floods in these areas

The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has predicted flash floods to occur in Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and some other areas across the country during the April to June period.

“The total cumulative rainfall amount for March April May (MAM) both in time and space will be near normal to above normal at the eastern coast of the country, South Western parts of the country towards the north-western parts of the country will experience normal to below normal rains and the extreme North Eastern parts of the country will experience below normal to near normal rains,” GMet said in a statement.

The statement said the rest of the country will experience near normal rains, adding that March, April, May, and June is the major rainfall season for the south of the country (8°N and below).

There is also a high probability of experiencing relatively short to normal dry spells at the beginning and towards the end of the season.

“Places such as along the coast and its inland areas are likely to have some surplus rainfall, albeit not so significant from the normal rainfall

The western parts of the country will also experience some deficit rainfall amounts for the MAM and AMJ seasons.”
