<p>In a forecast released early this morning, GMet highlighted that the first wave of precipitation, originating&nbsp;from Nigeria,&nbsp;is anticipated to commence around 9:30 am local time.&nbsp;This&nbsp;will be followed by another rainstorm, initially observed over northern Benin into Togo, which&nbsp;is expected&nbsp;to shift westward, impacting the&nbsp;northern regions&nbsp;of Ghana.</p>

<p>Areas along the coastline and the northern sectors are likely to bear the brunt of these weather systems, with heavy rainfall, potent winds, and thunderous conditions anticipated.</p>

<p><em>"The risk of flooding and windstorm damage is notably high,"</em> the statement issued by GMet cautioned. <em>"Residents residing in low-lying areas prone to flooding are strongly advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions."</em></p>

<p>The recent onslaught of severe weather wreaked havoc in parts of Accra, leaving behind a trail of destruction. Trees&nbsp;were uprooted, crushing several vehicles, while billboards succumbed to the ferocity of the winds, adding to the collateral damage.</p>

<p>As Ghana braces itself for the impending double deluge, authorities&nbsp;are urging&nbsp;citizens to heed weather advisories and stay tuned to official channels for updates. Preparedness measures,&nbsp;including securing loose objects, clearing drainage systems, and avoiding flood-prone areas, are being emphasized to minimize the potential impact of&nbsp;the incoming&nbsp;storms.</p>

<p>With memories of the recent havoc still fresh, communities&nbsp;across the nation&nbsp;are urged&nbsp;to exercise caution and solidarity in the face of nature's unpredictable fury.</p>
