According to PMD, the low-pressure system is gradually moving inland, bringing widespread rain and thunderstorms. Authorities have cautioned that the system could intensify, increasing the risk of waterlogging in low-lying areas.
- Heavy downpours are expected during peak hours, disrupting traffic.
- Chances of urban flooding remain high in Saddar, Gulshan, and Korangi.
- K-Electric has warned of possible power breakdowns in affected areas.
- Emergency teams are on alert to handle any untoward situation.
The Met Office has also advised fishermen to remain cautious, as strong winds and rough sea conditions could prevail near Karachi’s coastal belt.
City officials are urging citizens to stay indoors during heavy rainfall and avoid unnecessary travel. “We are monitoring the situation closely and have placed all rescue teams on standby,” a spokesperson for Karachi’s municipal corporation said.
In recent weeks, Karachi has witnessed multiple downpours caused by this weather system, which has already strained the city’s drainage system. Many residents have expressed frustration over the lack of preparedness. “Every time it rains, our streets turn into rivers,” said Bilal Ahmed, a resident of Gulistan-e-Johar.
