The Meteorological Department has forecast that the outskirt areas of Karachi may receive rainfall from Sunday evening, while the monsoon system could cause urban flooding in various districts of Sindh, including Karachi, until September 10.
According to the Meteorological Department’s Early Warning Centre, a low-pressure system, currently over western Madhya Pradesh, is expected to move westward and northwestward, reaching Rajasthan and adjoining areas of Sindh.
As a result, strong monsoon winds are anticipated to enter the eastern regions of the province, increasing the likelihood of rain in the outskirts of Karachi on Sunday evening. The system is also expected to trigger urban flooding conditions in the coming days.
