Two persons are reported dead as some parts of Accra got flooded after an hour of heavy rains on Monday morning, Accra FM's Nana Amoako Gyampa has reported.
Areas like Okponglo Legon, Kwame Nkrumah Circle interchange, Avenor, Alajo and some parts of Kaneshie got flooded.
The two bodies were found at Adabraka, a flood-prone area in the capital.
At the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, some vehicles got stuck in the floods while pedestrians traversed the knee-level floods.
Flooding in Accra is perennial and all attempts by the authorities to get citizens to avoid building on waterways and clogging the drains have proven futile.
