Heavy rains trap workers, students in Accra on Monday morning

Many workers have been stranded in their homes and at bus stops following severe flooding in parts of the Greater Accra Region after hours of heavy rainfall.

The rain, which began on the night of Sunday, June 28, 2026, continued into the early hours of Monday, June 29, 2026, causing widespread flooding in several communities across the region.

Videos circulating on social media show residents trapped in their homes and struggling to move around as many flood-prone areas became submerged.

Several social media users have shared updates and footage from their respective communities, highlighting the extent of the flooding.

The affected areas include Kasoa, Kaneshie, First Light, Sakaman, Dzorwulu, Circle, Adabraka, Alajo, Weija, Pantang and Ofankor, among others.

The heavy downpour is expected to disrupt work and business activities across the capital, with many commuters unable to leave their homes or reach their workplaces.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has forecast thunderstorms and rain for many parts of southern Ghana today, Monday, June 29, 2026.

According to GMet, rain that is already affecting parts of the coast and some inland areas is expected to continue throughout the day.

The agency says a weak to moderate rainstorm currently moving from the Togo-Benin coast is expected to spread westwards, bringing more clouds and triggering thunderstorms with rain across southern Ghana from this morning into the afternoon.

Residents in forest and mountainous areas should also expect patches of mist or fog during the day.
