General News of Sunday, 5 June 2022Source: www.ghanaweb.comThe Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) predicted that there will be heavy rainfall in the southern part of Ghana and true to their predictions there was rainstorm in Accra.

At the Airport area around Nyaho Hospital, the rushing flood waters made it impossible for vehicles particularly small ones to move.
