The Ghana Meteorological Agency has proposed a new legislative framework to transform itself into the Ghana Meteorological Authority, with expanded regulatory powers to license meteorological operators, establish standards, and become the sole official source of national severe weather warnings and public safety alerts.
This year's flooding in Accra has submerged whole communities and disrupted businesses and livelihoods. According to the World Bank, approximately US$3.2 billion worth of economic assets in the Greater Accra Region are currently exposed to flood risk, with that figure projected to quadruple by 2050 without effective mitigation.
The Greater Accra Regional Security Council has identified flood-prone communities across the region for heightened monitoring following Ghana Meteorological Agency forecasts of 100–150mm rainfall in June. Residents in the identified areas have been urged to remain vigilant and comply with safety directives as authorities intensify flood preparedness measures.
The Ghana Meteorological Agency has warned that Accra faces heightened flood risk in June, with rainfall projected between 100 and 150 millimetres across the coastal zone. The agency's Deputy Director attributes worsening flood vulnerability to reduced rainwater drainage capacity due to human activities, urbanization, and loss of natural flood retention areas.
An opinion piece argues that Ghana's crisis responses have been reactive rather than proactive, and calls for a National Risk Management Policy as an urgent governance reform to anticipate and mitigate risks before they become national emergencies.
Ghana's Meteorological Agency projects 100–150 millimetres of rainfall across the Coastal Zone in June, heightening flood risk in Accra where reduced drainage capacity and development on natural water-retention areas mean just 30 millimetres of rain can now flood parts of the city.

Fishermen on Ghana's Oti River in Dambai rely on daily weather forecasts from the Ghana Meteorological Agency to navigate the river safely, as traditional signs no longer reliably predict sudden storms and changing winds that have long posed dangers to communities dependent on the waterway.
An opinion piece argues that Ghana's recurring electricity outages blamed on rainfall, storms, and bushfires reflect a systemic vulnerability to known, manageable risks rather than unavoidable events. The article contends that a resilient power system should anticipate and quickly recover from such predictable seasonal disruptions.
An editorial marks World Environment Day amid Ghana's recurrent flooding: on June 3, the anniversary of the nation's deadliest flood disaster, the same streets in Accra flooded again despite warnings from the Ghana Meteorological Agency and NADMO. The piece criticizes the gap between rhetorical environmental commitments and persistent failure to address preventable crises.

Since 1935, floods in Ghana have killed over 3,000 people and displaced more than 700,000, with the 2015 Accra petrol station fire that killed at least 150 illustrating how poor land-use planning and drainage maintenance turn rainy seasons into preventable catastrophes. The article argues repeated flooding reflects institutional failure and inaction rather than inevitable natural disaster.
The Ghana Meteorological Agency warns that thousands of residents in parts of southern Ghana risk severe flooding and storm-related destruction in the coming weeks if urgent steps are not taken to desilt drains and clear waterways. The agency expects intense rainfall activity across Greater Accra, Central, Ashanti and Eastern regions between June and early July, with coastal communities likely to record some of the heaviest rainfall in the country.

The World Meteorological Organization indicates El Niño conditions may develop in 2026, potentially raising global temperatures into 2027 and disrupting rainfall patterns. For Ghana, this could intensify disruptions to rainfall, flooding, and pressure on food and energy systems, with agriculture particularly vulnerable as farming systems depend heavily on seasonal rains.
