A new spell of monsoon winds from the Bay of Bengal is set to influence the weather across Pakistan, particularly in the upper and central regions, bringing with it rain and thunderstorms. Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz shared these updates in a conversation with Geo News, outlining the expected weather conditions over the next few days.
According to Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz, the monsoon winds are likely to bring rainfall to various parts of Sindh, including Tharparkar, Umarkot, Mithi, and Badin, from today through August 11. The districts of Jacobabad, Sukkur, and Larkana are also expected to experience showers during this period.
In Karachi, a light phase of rain is anticipated to begin today, continuing until August 11. Sarfaraz noted that while heavy downpours are not expected in Karachi, residents can anticipate light rain or drizzle, particularly in the city’s suburbs and near the Kir Thar range.
The Meteorological Department has forecasted cloudy skies for Karachi over the next 24 hours, with the possibility of intermittent rain and drizzle. As of today, the minimum temperature in Karachi has been recorded at 28.4 degrees Celsius, with the maximum temperature expected to reach around 33 degrees Celsius. Winds are currently blowing from the west at a speed of 18 kilometers per hour, and the humidity level stands at 78 percent.
The expected rain may provide some respite from the heat for Karachi residents, though the city is not forecasted to experience the heavy rainfall that could lead to significant disruptions. However, the showers could still contribute to localized waterlogging, especially in areas with poor drainage systems.
In contrast, the heavier rains predicted for districts like Tharparkar, Umarkot, and Badin could have more substantial impacts, potentially affecting daily life and agricultural activities. Residents in these areas are advised to stay informed about weather conditions and take necessary precautions.
