KARACHI – Karachi and several other parts of Sindh are likely to receive light rain on Friday as a westerly weather system continues to influence different regions of the country, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast.
The Met Office said that a fresh wave of westerly winds is affecting the western and upper parts of Pakistan and may also bring isolated rainfall to parts of Sindh towards the end of the week.
Under the influence of this system, light showers are expected at a few places in Karachi, Thatta, Qambar Shahdadkot, Jamshoro and Naushahro Feroze on Friday.
However, most districts of Sindh are likely to experience predominantly dry and cool weather during the forecast period, with no widespread rainfall expected across the province.
The weather department has also predicted light fog in the plains of Sindh during the early morning hours, which could affect visibility in some areas. Karachi is also likely to experience light fog on Thursday morning.
Meanwhile, temperatures in the provincial capital are expected to remain relatively warm during daytime despite the anticipated change in weather conditions.
The PMD said the maximum daytime temperature in Karachi could reach 34 degrees Celsius over the next three days, indicating that the city will continue to experience warm conditions.
The possibility of isolated showers may bring temporary relief to residents in the areas receiving rainfall, although the overall weather pattern across the province is expected to remain largely dry.
The westerly weather system is also influencing upper and western parts of the country, where separate spells of rain and snowfall have been forecast. The residents, particularly those travelling during early morning hours, have been advised to remain cautious in areas where fog may reduce visibility.
The Met Office is likely to monitor the developing weather system and issue further updates as necessary.
