Several parts of Karachi experienced light drizzle on Monday night, marking the first day of Eid ul Adha. Reports of light rain came from Clifton, Defence Housing Authority (DHA), and adjoining areas.

A local weather forecast website attributed the drizzle to the influence of the Somalian Thrust. "Sea clouds will remain fairly active for the next 36 hours, mainly during night and morning hours," it forecasted.
