The Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) has issued a public advisory regarding the country’s current weather conditions, particularly in Accra.
GMet says the current condition is a result of dust lifted from around Chad, Sudan, and Niger, as detected on meteorological satellites.
“This dust was transported into the country by strong winds at lower levels of the atmosphere,” Ghana Meteorological Agency (GMet) said in a statement dated Monday, February 20.
GMet has since advised the public to observe the following precautions:
- Keep hydrated
- Follow fire safety precautions
- Cover foods/water to prevent dust from settling on them
- Wash fruits thoroughly before taking them
- People allergic to dust are to wear nose masks to reduce the effect on them.
It added that the current weather condition may take some time to clear.
