The Pakistan Monsoon 2025 has brought relief from intense heat to Karachi but also tragedy, with heavy rains causing deaths and injuries. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) predicts more showers in Karachi today. Meanwhile, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a warning of flash floods across Pakistan.
Karachi welcomed monsoon rains after days of scorching heat, but three days of showers have led to devastating losses. Rescue teams report that rain killed eight people and injured seven others in just two days. In Lyari, a collapsing roof claimed the lives of a father and daughter and injured five others. A similar incident in Manzoor Colony killed a child and wounded a father and son. Electrocution incidents also took five lives across the city. In New Karachi Sector 11-J, 4a 0-year-old Gulfam died, while a 22-year-old perished in Golimar. In Surjani Town, 21-year-old Ahmed lost his life, and 17-year-old Mudassir died in Korangi.

— Pak Met Department محکمہ موسمیات (@pmdgov) June 28, 2025The PMD forecasts a second monsoon spell starting July 5, which may intensify the situation. The NDMA’s National Emergency Operations Centre warns of heavy rainfall, urban flooding, and glacial lake outburst floods. These risks will likely persist until at least Tuesday, demanding heightened vigilance.
Authorities urge residents to stay cautious, especially in flood-prone areas. The NDMA advises avoiding travel during heavy rains and staying clear of electrical installations to prevent electrocution. Reinforcing weak structures can reduce the risk of collapse. Residents should monitor PMD and NDMA updates for real-time alerts.
