KARACHI: Rain is expected in Karachi and several other parts of Sindh from September 13 to September 16, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department.
The weather department said monsoon winds are entering the upper parts of the country, potentially bringing rainfall to various regions. Karachi is expected to receive showers during the four-day period, with weather conditions likely to remain partly cloudy and unsettled.
Besides Karachi, rain has also been forecast for Larkana, Jacobabad, Mirpurkhas, Tharparkar, Thatta, Badin and adjoining areas. Some locations may experience thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds.
The anticipated rainfall comes as a monsoon weather system continues to influence different parts of the country. Residents in areas expected to receive rain have been advised to remain alert, particularly during periods of strong winds and thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, strong winds have already caused damage in Islamabad. A tree fell in Sector F-10 because of powerful gusts, damaging vehicles in the area.
The strong winds also affected an event being organized at the Islamabad Sports Complex. The stage erected for a musical concert scheduled for today collapsed due to the windy conditions.
Authorities and event organizers are expected to take precautionary measures in view of the possibility of further strong winds and unstable weather.
In Rawalpindi, strong winds caused disruptions to electricity supplies in several areas. Power outages were reported after the storm affected parts of the city.
The weather has also changed in other parts of the country. Several areas of Peshawar received light rain, bringing temporary relief from hot and humid conditions.
Rain accompanied by thunderstorms was also reported in different parts of Attock and Neelum Valley in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The rainfall made the weather pleasant in these areas.
The latest weather activity demonstrates the widespread influence of the monsoon system, with rainfall and strong winds affecting different regions at the same time.
In Sindh, residents of Karachi and other forecast areas can expect intermittent showers over the coming days. The intensity of rainfall may vary from one location to another, with some areas potentially receiving thunderstorms and stronger winds.
People are advised to remain cautious during periods of heavy rain, especially while travelling. Wet roads, reduced visibility and water accumulation can create difficulties for motorists.
Residents should also take precautions around trees, billboards, temporary structures and other objects that could become dangerous during strong winds. The incidents reported in Islamabad and Rawalpindi demonstrate the potential impact of powerful gusts associated with thunderstorms.
The weather department’s forecast indicates that the rainy spell in Karachi may continue through September 16. The situation will depend on the movement and strength of the monsoon winds and associated weather systems.
Authorities in areas likely to receive heavy rainfall are expected to remain prepared for possible urban flooding, traffic disruptions and other weather-related incidents.
For Karachi, the forecast of rain from September 13 to 16 could bring some relief from the prevailing heat and humidity. However, residents should remain prepared for sudden thunderstorms and gusty winds.
Meanwhile, the rainfall in Peshawar, Attock and Neelum Valley has already improved weather conditions, with residents experiencing cooler and more pleasant conditions following the showers.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department is expected to continue monitoring the monsoon system and issue further updates if weather conditions intensify.
Residents across Sindh and other affected regions are advised to follow official weather advisories and take necessary precautions during thunderstorms and strong winds.
Overall, the forecast suggests that Karachi and several districts of Sindh may experience rain from September 13 to 16, while other parts of the country are also likely to remain under the influence of monsoon weather in the coming days.
