Karachi rain update: Met Office issues fresh weather advisory

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said Friday there would be no more rains in Karachi today as the westerly weather system that has caused downpours in the past couple of days in the city has exited.

The meteorological department forecast that during the next 24 hours, the weather would remain clear or partly cloudy, with the temperature dropping to as low as 13.3°C.

Meanwhile, the humidity stands at 89%, PMD added.

A day earlier, moderate to light showers continued in different areas of Karachi throughout the day as the city welcomed the second spell of winter rainfall under the influence of a strong weather system that entered Balochistan on Tuesday.

The weather turned chilly and pleasant as different areas of the city, including I.I. Chundrigar Road, Saddar, Shahrah-e-Faisal, Nazimabad, North Karachi, Surjani, and other areas received light to moderate rains along with a cold breeze.

Intermittent downpours in the metropolis badly affected the flow of traffic on busy roads.

According to PMD, the temperature may fall in Karachi from January 8.
