Some areas recorded nearly 150mm of rain, turning streets into rivers. Traffic came to a grinding halt as waterlogged roads trapped vehicles and commuters alike.
K-Electric reported widespread disruptions as floodwaters hampered electricity restoration. The PMD has predicted “torrential rains” across Sindh and Balochistan until August 22, raising fears of more urban flooding and flash floods.
Residents are urged to avoid travel, stay away from power lines, and contact emergency services if needed.
