Karachi residents are advised to brace themselves for possible rain showers today as meteorological reports indicate a high likelihood of rainfall. The city’s weather is expected to be influenced by the incoming second series of western winds from Balochistan, forecasted to arrive on April 17th.
The meteorological department has issued alerts for intermittent light rain throughout the day, with the potential for heavier showers in certain areas. This weather system is part of a broader pattern affecting multiple regions, including Islamabad, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan, where additional rain is also predicted.
While the rainfall brings relief from the heat, it also raises concerns about potential flooding, especially in low-lying areas. Authorities urge residents to stay updated with weather advisories and take necessary precautions during this period of unsettled weather.
In response to the forecast, the Chief Minister of Balochistan has directed immediate measures, including the closure of all schools in Balochistan today and tomorrow. Additionally, residents are advised to be cautious on the roads due to possible water accumulation and disruptions in the sewage system following the rain.
Stay tuned for further updates as the weather situation unfolds across Karachi and surrounding regions.
