Farmers urged to prepare for the rains

Accra, March 23, GNA - Farmers have been advised to prepare the land for the rainy season which is about a month away. They should however, not be misled by recent rain fall experienced in certain parts of the country since they were not an indication of the rainy season.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency, Mr Amos Narh, Deputy Officer in-Charge, Meteorological Services Department-Kotoka International Airport, said an improvement in the weather during the dry season could cause some rainfall, although the rainy season might not have arrived as yet.

He described the rains as a "false start" but said the actual rainy season could be expected in April.
