The likelihood of heavy rain in Karachi has diminished as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) reports a shift in the monsoon system towards central and upper Sindh, as well as Balochistan.
According to a PMD alert issued on Saturday, while Karachi may still experience light to moderate rainfall, the heavier downpours are now expected in cities like Jacobabad, Larkana, Dadu, Shikarpur, Ghotki, and Sukkur.
The PMD forecasts that this weather system may persist in Sindh until the morning of August 19.
Previously, the PMD had predicted thundershowers for Karachi within the next 24 hours. However, the latest advisory suggests a decrease in the intensity for the port city.
Meanwhile, other regions across the country, including Punjab, Balochistan, and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, have already experienced rainfall.
In Lahore, the weather has turned pleasant with ongoing rain, accompanied by strong winds in some areas.
Rainfall has also been recorded in other Punjab regions such as Sheikhupura, Rahim Yar Khan, and Kasur, as well as in several areas of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
