Commuters stranded as Monday morning heavy rains flood several areas in Accra (Videos)

Several parts of Accra have been flooded following hours of heavy rainfall that began late on Sunday, June 28, and continued into Monday morning, June 29, 2026, causing severe traffic congestion, and disrupting the morning commute for thousands of residents.

The prolonged downpour submerged major roads and low-lying communities, forcing vehicles to crawl through floodwaters while some drivers turned back to avoid impassable routes.

The flooding also disrupted the Monday morning commute, with many residents facing delays as waterlogged roads and heavy traffic made movement difficult.
