The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a warning of heavy rainfall expected to hit Karachi over the upcoming weekend. According to the PMD, a strong weather system is moving towards the city, bringing with it the potential for significant downpours, thunderstorms, and gusty winds. Residents are advised to prepare for possible urban flooding in low-lying areas, as the rainfall could be intense and prolonged.
Authorities are on high alert, with emergency services and municipal teams ready to respond to any situations that may arise. Citizens are urged to stay indoors during peak rainfall hours, avoid unnecessary travel, and keep emergency supplies on hand. The heavy rainfall could also disrupt daily life, including transportation and power supply, so precautionary measures are essential.
The PMD has also advised fishermen to exercise caution and avoid venturing into the open sea due to rough conditions and high tides. With Karachi already experiencing sporadic rain showers earlier this week, the city is now gearing up for what could be a significant weather event. Citizens are encouraged to monitor weather updates closely and follow instructions from local authorities to ensure their safety during the anticipated heavy rainfall.
