Parts of Karachi saw small rains following predictions of rain in the next several days, but the city was still scorching hot in anticipation of the monsoon season.
Light rain was experienced in several regions, including Gulshan, North Karachi, North Nazimabad, Garden, Lyari, Sadar, and old city neighborhoods.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), there will be additional rain or drizzle in some places due to the effect of clouds in Karachi’s northeast.
Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz said that rain would probably hit Karachi’s suburbs on June 22 or 23, as the city battles intense heat.
Earlier in the day, Sarfaraz stated that rain was predicted in the vicinity of the Super Highway and that “more than normal” showers could fall in Sindh, which includes Karachi.
The weather in Sindh, including Karachi remained dry and hot for the last few weeks, but the spell has now been broken as Larkana, Shikarpur, Shahdakot, Jacobabad and other parts of province received rain with thunderstorm today.
Furthermore, the chief meteorologist said that the monsoon is likely to begin in Sindh after July 5 or 6 while it may begin in Punjab and Kashmir from June 29 or 30.
