The Gambia Meteorological Department said the storm moved in from the Atlantic and lasted for over an hour in many parts of the Greater Banjul Area, West Coast Region, and parts of the North Bank. In Banjul and Sukuta, roads were temporarily flooded and visibility was reduced. Some market vendors and drivers had to take shelter as winds blew off light rooftops and tree branches. No major injuries were reported. Many residents welcomed the rain as relief from the heat and dust. “We needed this rain. The weather has been too hot this week,” said Awa Jallow, a trader in Serekunda Market. Officials are advising the public to stay indoors during storms, avoid open fields and tall trees, and ensure proper drainage to prevent flooding. The Met Department forecasts more rains and thunderstorms later this week. --- Want me to make it *shorter for radio*, *more formal for a newspaper*, or *add quotes from officials*?
