Is Karachi expected to experience rainfall, or will it stay hot today?

KARACHI: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast that Karachi will remain hot and humid over the next 24 hours.

Despite this, there is a chance of rain with thunderstorms in some areas and suburbs of the city.

Currently, the humidity in Karachi is around 69%, with temperatures expected to range between 36°C to 38°C. Thunderstorms might develop after 1 pm, and there is a higher probability of rain today compared to yesterday.

Due to low air pressure, sea breezes will be absent today. A weather expert mentioned that the low pressure in the Arabian Sea near Gujarat, India, could influence rainfall in Karachi and other parts of Sindh.

Yesterday, brief rain showers provided some relief from the heat, but humidity quickly returned. Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz predicted more rain over the next two days, which could reduce the heat intensity, although temperatures will remain between 37°C and 38°C. The heat is expected to persist until the low air pressure dissipates, but sea breezes are anticipated to return by tomorrow evening.

Areas such as Central, Gulshan-e-Hadeed, Surjani, Nazimabad, and Gadap are expected to experience heavy rain showers during this period.
