Rain breaks sweltering heat spell

As the sweltering heat subsided, thanks to intermittent light and heavy rain across different areas of the port city in the apst two days, citizens flocked to the beaches seeking respite. Children delighted in camel and horse rides, while parents savoured the homemade hot dishes.

The pleasant weather can be attributed to the morning showers, which brought relief to the heat-stricken populace. The beckoning waves of the sea warmly welcomed the beachgoers, where some enthusiasts couldn't resist taking a plunge into the refreshing waters. Meanwhile, children reveled in their enjoyable horseback and camel rides.

From early morning, families thronged the coastal areas, indulging in the seaside bliss while relishing the delectable homemade treats they had brought along. Despite enduring prolonged power outages, the allure of Sea View proved irresistible as an affordable sanctuary.

Karachi's humidity had persisted for days, depriving children of their usual summer vacation adventures. However, with the arrival of cloudy skies, the children eagerly persuaded their parents to visit Sea View, a place where they could momentarily escape their daily routines and find solace.

"We have prepared and brought our children's favorite dishes from home for today," shared one of the families, adding to the festive atmosphere.
