The head of Forecast Office of the Agency, Mr. Michael Padi, told the Ghanaian Times that Sunday’s downpour which has a 51.5mm measurement was on the high side compared to recent rainfalls recorded.
He noted that such rainfall patterns are expected in the country at least three times in a week and urged people in the southern belts of the country to be cautious during downpours.
“The rains have started in earnest,” he said, adding that it will be accompanied by thunderstorms and lightening, which may pose a serious danger to lives and property.
