Karachi is set for another round of light drizzle and humid conditions over the next 24 hours, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD). The city will wake up to cloudy skies and may see brief showers early in the morning and again overnight.
Temperatures are expected to hover between 31°C and 33°C during the day, while Friday’s minimum was 28°C. Humidity remains high at 78%, with mild sea breezes blowing in from the southwest at around 15 km/h.
PMD officials warned that temperatures could climb slightly over the weekend, staying in the 32–34°C range, as hot and sticky weather persists across much of Sindh.
Balochistan Stays Mostly Dry, with Localized Showers Expected
Most of Balochistan saw clear skies on Friday, though the weather bureau predicts isolated rainfall in Zhob and Musakhel. Other districts are likely to remain dry and warm, while coastal towns may see patches of cloud cover.
NDMA Issues Flood Warning Ahead of Heavy Rains
The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has already sounded the alarm for a potentially dangerous monsoon system expected to hit parts of Sindh starting August 30. Karachi, along with Thatta, Sujawal, Badin, and Tharparkar, could experience intense downpours through September 2, raising the risk of urban flooding.
Hyderabad, Dadu, Sukkur, Ghotki, Larkana, Jacobabad, and Kashmore are also on alert for heavy rainfall between August 30 and September 1.
This warning follows a devastating rain spell earlier this month that left 10 people dead in Karachi, mostly due to electrocution and collapsing roofs.
Deadly Monsoon Toll Continues to Rise
Pakistan’s ongoing monsoon season has been particularly brutal, with relentless rains causing landslides and floods across several provinces. Since June, more than 800 people have died, underscoring the country’s vulnerability to climate extremes and poor urban drainage systems, especially in megacities like Karachi.
