Don't Play With Our Weather Forecast - GMet To Ghanaians

Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has asked Ghanaians not to trivialize its weather forecasts in order to avoid disasters.

According to a statement from the Agency, unlike previously where the agency lacked state-of-the-art equipment to give perfectly accurate forecast, "in recent times the Agency through the help of the sector minister, Hon Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Government and other institutions, has seen some level of improvement that has enhanced their service delivery".

"The enhanced role of the Agency makes it important that the general public pay keen attention to weather forecasts and every other activity of the Agency via our social media handles and the traditional media to be reliably informed.

This will help address some of the disasters we have encountered in recent times such as the Chinese fishing vessel that sunk on the coast of Ghana between Elmina and Sekondi in the Western Region because of heavy downpour and the lack of preparedness to deal with the perennial floods on the country" the statement added.
