Accra records heaviest rainfall in 9 years
Accra registered a record rainfall of five inches in the last nine years.
A spokesman for the Meteorological Services said the heaviest rain ever recorded in the city fell in June 1959, when a volume of 7.56 inches was registered. The rain nearly brought normal life in the city to a standstill, with offices and shops closed and schoolchildren taking a French leave.
