Heavy Monsoon Rains Hit Karachi: Urban Flooding Risk Looms

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) warns of possible urban flooding as Karachi prepares for heavy monsoon rains on September 9, 2025, with strong winds and heavy rain expected to hit the coastal city during its 10th wet spell of the season, which will last from Tuesday morning until late at night.

PMD predicts a powerful monsoon system over Tharparkar that drives the weather. PMD spokesperson Anjum Nazir said “very heavy downpours” could bring more than 100 millimetres of rain. Winds may reach 60 to 70 kilometres per hour. This raises concern about the city’s weak drainage system.

Low-lying areas face a high risk of flooding. Authorities advise people to stay indoors during strong showers and avoid weak buildings. Karachi’s past floods and stranded commuters have added to the caution as the city gets ready.

KMC City Wardens have been deputed on all major arteries of the city to assist people in case of any issue during the rain. Relief camps have also been made at different locations like Qayyumabad, Rashid Minhas Road, Nursery, Light House, Shaheen Complex, Teen Talwar, Power… pic.twitter.com/ItsC1BWR40

The monsoon also affects other parts of Sindh, including Hyderabad, Tando Muhammad Khan, Tando Allahyar, Jamshoro, Thatta, Badin, and Shaheed Benazirabad. PMD recorded 80 millimetres of rain in some places during the last rain spell. Showers with thunderstorms will continue until September 10, 2025.

In Hyderabad, steady rain overnight forced schools to close on Tuesday. Matiari also closed schools due to slick, dangerous roads. Police said a trailer crashed on the National Highway footpath, injuring the driver. Three motorcyclists were hurt near New Saeedabad in Hala. Four people went to the hospital after rain-related accidents.

Karachi’s traffic police are working hard to avoid traffic jams. Officers are on duty across all towns. “We’re working to keep traffic moving,” said DIG Traffic, following the chief minister’s orders. The information department reports normal traffic so far. Challenges may come when the heavier rain arrives.

K-Electric, which supplies power to the city, is on high alert. Out of more than 2,100 power feeders, fewer than 60 were affected by recent rains. Power was cut in some low areas and places with illegal connections to ensure safety. The company says power remains mostly steady but warns conditions could change with heavy rain.

Karachi’s poor drainage system makes flooding likely. This disrupts daily life and creates safety risks. The heavy rains show the need for better drainage to protect people. As the monsoon continues, both authorities and citizens must work together to reduce damage and stay safe.
