Here are areas badly hit by Accra floods after heavy rains

Heavy rains that began late on Sunday, June 28, 2026, and continued into the morning of Monday, June 29, 2026, have caused widespread flooding across parts of Accra, submerging major roads and severely disrupting traffic flow during peak hours.

The prolonged downpour left several major roads inundated with flood waters, forcing vehicles to move through flooded sections while others were abandoned by motorists who could not proceed.

The morning rush hour was heavily affected, with commuters facing long delays as streets turned into streams and congestion built up across the city.

In some low-lying communities, homes and shops were also submerged, forcing residents to move belongings to higher ground as water levels continued to rise.

Authorities have advised motorists to avoid flooded routes and urged residents in flood-prone areas to remain cautious and take necessary safety precautions.
