Karachi to Experience Heavy Rain and Thunderstorms This Week, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) update. The city will see sporadic rainfall from Wednesday, and heavy showers are expected across key districts. Residents should prepare for thunderstorms and strong winds in Karachi and the surrounding areas.
A westerly wave moving into Karachi on Tuesday evening will bring cloudy weather to Karachi, combined with maximum temperatures reaching 33 degrees Celsius and humidity around 88 percent. PMD forecasts heavy rainfall in Karachi areas, including Malir, Shah Faisal, and Gulshan-e-Iqbal. Coastal rainfall in Karachi, especially at Sea View and Clifton, is also likely.
Other Sindh districts, including Hyderabad, Sukkur, Dadu, Kashmore, Jacobabad, and Larkana, will experience rainfall over the coming days. The western weather system Karachi will extend to Balochistan, affecting Panjgur, Turbat, Kech, Awaran, Gwadar, Pasni, Lasbela, Quetta, and surrounding districts. Wet spells in Balochistan are expected until March 27.
The last heavy storm disrupted Eid prayers in Karachi and caused urban flooding in several neighborhoods. Strong winds and thunderstorms may create temporary road closures, traffic delays, and power outages. Authorities advise residents to avoid low-lying areas and stay updated with local alerts.
In summary, Karachi is expected to experience heavy rain and thunderstorms this week, which is a significant weather event. Residents should remain cautious, follow PMD updates, and take preventive measures. Storm disruption during Eid al-Fitr in previous years shows the importance of preparedness. With rainfall expected from March 25 to 29, staying informed can reduce risks and ensure safety.
