The Ghana meteorological Agency has forecasted more rains in coming days warning residents in flood prone areas to move to higher grounds.

Meanwhile, NADMO entreated the general public to pay heed to the weather warnings and act accordingly to keep safe.

“Counting on your understanding and placing premium on your safety and that of your family and properties,” NADMO’s director of communications, George Ayisi, said.

The warning also includes emergency contact numbers for persons who require assistance during the downpour – 112, 0302964884 and 0299350699.
