It is likely to downgrade to a <strong>depression<\/strong>, and within <strong>24 to 36 hours<\/strong>, it is expected to weaken further into a <strong>low-pressure area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meteorologists explained that moist winds from both the <strong>Arabian Sea<\/strong> and the <strong>Bay of Bengal<\/strong> are moving into Pakistan&#8217;s upper and central regions. At the same time, a <strong>westerly weather system<\/strong> is also affecting the country&#8217;s northern areas, contributing to the likelihood of widespread rainfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the influence of this weather system, rainfall is expected in several districts of <strong>Sindh<\/strong>, including <strong>Tharparkar, Umerkot, Mithi, Sanghar, and Hyderabad<\/strong>. These areas may receive <strong>intermittent rain from the evening or night of July 31 until August 2<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For <strong>Karachi<\/strong>, the PMD has forecast <strong>light to moderate rainfall<\/strong> between the <strong>evening of August 1 and August 2<\/strong>. However, the department clarified that <strong>heavy or torrential rainfall is not expected<\/strong> in the city from this particular weather system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the absence of a forecast for intense downpours, authorities have advised residents to remain cautious, as even moderate rainfall can lead to water accumulation in low-lying areas and traffic disruptions in parts of the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The PMD continues to monitor the movement and intensity of the weather system and has indicated that updates will be issued if there are any significant changes in the forecast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Citizens, especially commuters and motorists, have been advised to keep track of official weather advisories, avoid unnecessary travel during periods of rain, and take appropriate precautions to ensure safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The expected showers are likely to provide some relief from the prevailing hot and humid conditions in Karachi while bringing pleasant weather to many parts of the province.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karachi, Pakistan: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast rain in Karachi from the evening of August 1 through August 2, as a weather system..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8452,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8451","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pakistan"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/439002_1825211_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/439002_1825211_updates-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/439002_1825211_updates-1-300x171.jpg",300,171,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/439002_1825211_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"large":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/439002_1825211_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/439002_1825211_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/paksouch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/439002_1825211_updates-1.jpg",700,400,false]},"author_info":{"info":["admin"]},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/?cat=3\" rel=\"category\">Pakistan<\/a>","tag_info":"Pakistan","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8451","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8451"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8451\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8453,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8451\/revisions\/8453"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8452"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8451"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8451"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/paksouch.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8451"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
