Karachi may receive heavy rain and thunderstorms on September 14 and 15, according to reports today. A weather system is developing over the region and could become stronger in the coming days.
Weather forecasts suggest that the system may develop into a depression. It could bring rain to several parts of Sindh. Karachi may also see heavy showers along with thunderstorms and strong winds.
Can rain cause urban flooding in Karachi?
The possible weather system comes during the late monsoon season. Heavy rain in a short period can create problems for Karachi residents.
Low-lying areas may face water accumulation. Roads could also become flooded. The rain may affect traffic and cause power outages in some areas.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) is monitoring the weather system. The department is expected to issue an official advisory if the system gets stronger or moves closer to Sindh.
Forecast may change
The current forecast is not yet certain. Extended weather models do not show a strong and clear signal of widespread heavy rain in Karachi on September 14 and 15.
The exact path and strength of the system may change over the next few days. Residents should keep checking official updates from the PMD.
People in Karachi should take precautions if the system becomes stronger and brings heavy rain to the city.
