The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned that Karachi is likely to experience heavy to very heavy rainfall starting this evening. The department has also advised residents to remain alert, as the downpour could lead to urban flooding in low-lying areas of the city.
According to the PMD, rain showers are expected in different parts of Karachi over the next few hours. The weather forecast suggests that the temperature in the city will stay between 27°C and 35°C during this time. Strong winds may also accompany the rainfall, making driving and outdoor movement difficult in some areas.
The current weather pattern is being influenced by a low-pressure system that has formed over Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan in India.
This system has become stronger over the past two days and is now pushing more moisture into Sindh. As a result, the chances of rainfall have increased in several districts of the province, including Karachi.
Authorities are requesting residents to take precautionary measures and avoid unnecessary travel, especially in flood-prone neighborhoods. People are also advised to stay away from power lines, open drains, and weak structures during heavy rain.
In recent years, heavy rainfall has often caused serious problems in Karachi, including traffic jams, power outages, and waterlogging.
Keeping this in mind, the PMD’s warning should be taken seriously. Preparedness can help minimize risks and ensure safety. The coming days will be critical for Karachi as the city faces another spell of heavy monsoon rain.
