The transition zone, which sits between the humid south and the drier north, is particularly susceptible to erratic rainfall during this period of the year.
Conditions are expected to shift by the early hours of Wednesday, July 15, with widespread cloud cover settling over most of the country.
Coastal communities, forest zones, and highland or mountainous areas face an elevated risk of mist and fog patches forming overnight and persisting into the morning.
Motorists and commuters in those regions should exercise caution, as reduced visibility from fog can pose significant hazards on roads, particularly in the pre-dawn and early morning hours.
The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) shared its latest weather update on X for July 14:
Earlier warning to motorists from Meteorological Agency
GMet has warned motorists to reduce speed, keep headlights on, and exercise caution on flood-prone roads.
The public has also been urged to stay away from trees and weak structures during periods of strong wind and to monitor official updates from the Ghana Meteorological Agency for further guidance as the storm progresses.
The agency is expecting similar weather later in the week, though the southern parts continue to be spared after recent storms and flooding.
"Expect periods of rain and thunderstorms across parts of Ghana, with northern areas most likely to experience more activities. Cool morning and evening with occasional early morning mist will also be part of the week's weather."
