KARACHI, July 11(ABC): The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast light to moderate showers in the metropolis today under the influence of a strong weather system as overnight showers sunk parts of the city including DHA and Clifton, ruining Eid-ul-Azha of the Karachiites.
Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz said the city is likely to receive intermittent light to moderate rain throughout the day due to a low-pressure’s presence over the Arabian Sea.
The PMD official added that Thatta, Badin, Hyderabad and Mirpurkhas will also be affected.
He said that cloudbursts cannot be predicted, adding that the current spell may weaken by July 13.
Light rain is expected in the city on July 12 and 13, Sadar Sarfaraz said, adding that another “strong” monsoon system is likely to enter Karachi from July 14.
Meanwhile, rescue sources said that two people died of electrocution in the Garden area and one in Korangi’s Bilal Colony.
Several main roads and streets were completely flooded as heavy rainfall once again exposed the city’s drainage system and the Sindh government’s claims regarding its rain emergency plans.
