Karachi: The Met Office has issued a weather alert for Karachi and other parts of Sindh, warning of moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by gusty winds and thundershowers.
The warning emphasizes the possibility of urban flooding and waterlogging in low-lying and poorly drained areas.
Rain spells are expected to persist over the coming days, with occasional breaks, increasing risks in vulnerable zones.
In Karachi, streets and major thoroughfares have already experienced flooding, complicating traffic and daily movement.
Power outages have been reported in several areas, with electricity providers issuing caution for residents, especially in low-lying zones.
Some schools have been ordered closed to ensure student safety amidst worsening weather.
Authorities have been urged to deploy all relevant departments—drainage, civil defense, disaster management—to remain on high alert and manage any emerging emergencies.
The weather warning is expected to remain in effect through Thursday, with intermittent rainfall and strong winds likely.
• Avoid traveling through flooded roads or underpasses
• Stay away from water-logged electrical installations
• Keep emergency contact numbers handy (local disaster management, rescue services)
• Monitor official updates from the Pakistan Meteorological Department and local authorities
