Flood in Togo

Flooding in Togo has been driven by persistent heavy rainfall along the Togo–Benin–Ghana coastline.

Heavy overnight rains from Sunday, 28 June, into Monday, 29 June 2026 triggered flooding across multiple neighborhoods in Lomé. Residents reported rainfall beginning around 3:00 a.m. and continuing heavily through the morning, overwhelming drainage systems and leaving streets submerged.

Roads were flooded, causing major traffic congestion and transport disruption in and around Lomé. There were also electricity interruptions in some affected areas. Low‑lying communities are monitoring rising water levels amid fears of further flooding.

Electricity disruptions and submerged roads prompted emergency crews to clear blocked routes and assist stranded residents in Lomé. Fire and rescue teams were deployed in multiple affected areas as part of the regional response to the coastal flooding. Ghana’s National Fire Service mobilized rescue teams to flooded zones on June 29, 2026, responding to incidents caused by the same storm system impacting Lomé.

The flooding is part of a wider regional weather system affecting southern Ghana, Togo, and Benin.
