Harmattan To Get Worse From Today – Meteorological Agency Warns
The Ghana Meteorological Agency has cautioned that the harmattan will be intensifying from Wednesday January 20, 2021 into the weekend.
In a statement it said “dust has been raised from the source region (around Chad) and is expected to be advected into the country to deteriorate surface visibility.”
Also, “due to the influx of the dry and dusty continental winds, the Northern half is expected to be drier with relative humidity of less than 20percent and below 50percent over parts of the Southern sector.”
The statement revealed that: “This intrusion of dryness increases the probability of fire outbreaks.”
The Meteorological Agency has, therefore, advised the general public “to be cautious of handling naked fires” and “be careful on the roads due to poor visibility.”
