Light rain may hit Karachi as weather to remain cloudy, humid

KARACHI: Light rain and drizzle are likely to hit various parts of Karachi on Thursday as weather may remain cloudy and humid throughout the day, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said.

This means that the people of Karachi will continue to long for a heavy rain, even though temperature has comparatively been a little improved with intermittent light showers that lashed the port city for consecutive days last week.

The Met Office said the minimum temperature in the megalopolis was recorded at 29.5 °C and humidity was 82% in the air.

Whereas, the PMD said, winds were blowing at a speed of 12 kilometers an hour.

A weather expert, Jawad Memon on July 22 forecast another spell of monsoon rains in the city.

He had said a rain system, developing in the Bay of Bengal, might affect Sindh between July 24 and 28. If the same system hit India’s coastal state Gujarat, he had said, then Karachi might also receive showers.
