The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) is forecasting the arrival of the monsoon season, with its first spell of rains starting June 19. This year, the southern regions of Sindh, including Karachi, are anticipated to receive significant rainfall.
However, Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz has indicated that the plain areas will not experience rainfall during Eid ul Adha.
The weather across most parts of Pakistan is predicted to remain hot and dry, with particularly severe conditions in the central and southern plains. Gilgit-Baltistan might see partly cloudy skies with chances of light rain or thunderstorms during the evenings and nights.
Following a severe heatwave last month in southern Sindh, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has warned of continued high temperatures in Sindh and Punjab throughout June.
In the provincial capital, temperatures are expected to range between 28 and 43 degrees Celsius today, potentially rising to 46 degrees Celsius in the forthcoming days.
Karachi residents experienced a slight respite from the heat on June 7, with drizzles cooling down areas such as Gulshan-e-Iqbal, University Road, Gulistan-e-Johar, Surjani Town, Scheme 33, Hawksbay, Baldia Town, Maripur, and Nazimabad.
