Hydrologist, Wise Ametepe, said Monday that “there will be complete disaster” in the capital if rains exceeding 40 millimetres are recorded -- unless authorities take drastic steps to stem the floods that will ensue. “Even when we have 40 millimetres of rainfall [there is flooding]. Some time past, 40 millimetres of rainfall would not have caused flooding; 50 millimetres would not have caused flooding. The Meteorological Agency has predicted thunderstorms and heavy rains this rainy season – from March to November in the south of Ghana. The bodies of a husband and wife – both military officers – were among the seven retrieved from flood waters by NADMO after the Sunday rains.
