The westerly wave will first enter parts of Balochistan on March 24 and is likely to intensify by the night of March 27. Districts such as Panjgur, Turbat, Kech, Awaran, Gwadar, Pasni, and Marwar, along with Lasbela, Khuzdar, Chagai, Dalbandin, Kalat, Sibi, Kohlu, Quetta, Barkhan, Naseerabad, Loralai, Ziarat, Chaman, Pishin, Qila Abdullah, Qila Saifullah, Nushki, Harnai, Zhob, Qalat, and Mastung, are expected to experience wet spells.
Earlier this month, Eid prayers in Karachi were disrupted as several areas received rain with thunder and lightning on the first day of Eid-ul-Fitr. Downpours were reported in Malir, Shah Faisal, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, and Gulistan-e-Johar. Strong winds and rain also affected North Nazimabad, Federal B Area, North Karachi, and Buffer Zone. Coastal areas, including Sea View and Clifton, were not spared from rainfall.
Last month, a severe thunderstorm with gale-force winds caused at least 19 deaths in Karachi, highlighting the importance of monitoring weather updates. The PMD continues to advise residents to stay alert and follow safety guidelines.
Citizens are urged to remain cautious as the city and surrounding districts prepare to receive rain over the coming week.
