Changelog

The trawler and semi-industrial closed seasons (July–August 2026) and the Fosu Lagoon festival ban had ended but were still shown as upcoming. They now read as over, and the timeline looks ahead to next year's announcements instead of listing dates that have passed.

Wave height, swell period, wind across the beach and water temperature, read fresh and looking six days ahead. It is one reading for the whole run of landing beaches, because the model's grid is about nine kilometres across and a separate number per beach would look more precise than the data is. It is a model, not a measurement, and there is no wave buoy off Cape Coast.

The university's own published calendar, sorted by date and readable on a phone. Pick your cohort — continuing students and the Level 100 intake are on different dates — and see when lectures begin and end, when exams and re-sits run, and when results come out. Re-sits for all levels run 7-18 September. The 2026/2027 calendar has not been published yet, and the page says so.

See how much rain has fallen over the last few days and how much is on the way, set against the downpours that flood NIB Road, the Melcom area and the Kingsway-to-Tantri stretch. It's a heads-up that heavy rain is coming — when the water starts to rise, GMet, NADMO and the radio are who to follow.

Cape Coast's festival and remembrance days as they come around: the Fetu Afahye ban weeks and grand durbar, and Emancipation Day at the castles — each with the rules to know before it arrives.

Hours, fees and how a canopy-walk visit actually runs at Kakum — the walk-in park most visitors pair with the castles, about 45 minutes north — with an honest note that the fees are a guide to confirm at the gate.

Cape Coast floods in the same low places whenever a heavy downpour meets choked gutters and built-over waterways — the streets around NIB Road, Melcom and Kingsway-to-Tantri in the centre, and neighbourhoods like Abura, Ekon and the roads around the university, as the deadly storm of 19 June 2026 showed again. **Which Areas Flood** is a new page that shows which rainy season it is right now — the major season runs April to July, a shorter one September to November — and reads the weather model for the next few days, so you can see when heavy rain is on the way and plan around the low roads before it sets in. It names where the town floods and why, and it lists who to call. It is not a flood warning, and it says so plainly. The real alerts still come by radio — ATL FM, Kastle, Cape and TW — and from NADMO and the emergency line 112, all of which are on the page. The rain figures are weather-model estimates, not measurements; calm skies are never a promise, and heavy rain on the hills is a reason to be watchful. Rainfall data is from Open-Meteo (CC BY 4.0).

Emergency and service numbers verified against official sites — and an honest note about the ones we could not confirm.

Eleven plain answers — festival ban dates, why the taps run dry, which streets flood, and where official announcements actually appear: the radio.

Who fishes when, in one dated place: the 2026 closed season (canoes exempt), the Tuesday fishing holiday, the premix price cap, and the Fosu Lagoon ban — with a timeline of what changes next.
