Rain and thunderstorms are expected in Karachi today, Tuesday, while the weather is likely to remain hot and humid across the city. Residents may experience changing weather conditions during the day, with showers expected in some areas.
According to the Meteorological Department, Karachi’s maximum temperature is forecast to remain between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius. The city recorded a maximum temperature of 39.5°C on the previous day, highlighting the continued intensity of the heat.
The minimum temperature was recorded at 28°C. Sea breezes are expected to blow at speeds ranging from 10 to 35 kilometres per hour, which may provide some relief from the hot and humid conditions.
The weather outlook suggests that thunderstorms and rain could develop in parts of Karachi during the day. Residents have been advised to remain alert, particularly during periods of strong winds and lightning. Motorists should also exercise caution if rain reduces visibility or causes water to accumulate on roads.
The combination of high temperatures and humidity is expected to keep the overall weather uncomfortable. However, rainfall in some parts of the city may temporarily lower temperatures and make conditions more pleasant.
Meanwhile, rain accompanied by strong winds was reported in several areas of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The showers made the weather pleasant and provided relief from the prevailing heat.
Rawalpindi received 13.55 millimetres of rainfall, while rain was also recorded in several other areas of the twin cities. The showers were accompanied by strong winds, causing a noticeable change in the weather.
The rainfall also led to monitoring of water levels in Nullah Lai, a major stormwater channel in Rawalpindi. The water level at Kattarian was reported at approximately four and a half, although the available report does not provide the complete measurement unit or further details.
Authorities and residents in Rawalpindi are likely to remain watchful as rain continues in different areas. Heavy rainfall in the catchment areas can increase water levels in Nullah Lai and create a risk of urban flooding.
The latest weather conditions show that different parts of the country are experiencing changing patterns, with Karachi facing hot and humid conditions alongside the possibility of thunderstorms, while Islamabad and Rawalpindi have received rain and strong winds.
Residents are advised to stay updated through official weather forecasts and take necessary precautions during thunderstorms, particularly when travelling or staying outdoors.
