KARACHI: Heavy rain and strong winds hit Karachi on Tuesday, partially flooding roads and cooling the city’s sharp weather.

An excellent pressure system on the coast of Gujarat, India, came near the Arabian Sea, which increased the risk of a tropical storm this week.

Heavy rainfall was recorded in several palaces, including Liawatabad, Federal B Area, Sadardar, II Chindergar Road, Korangi and Shara Fizle, while winds of up to 45 km per hour were observed in different parts of the city.

According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), DHA Phase VII recorded 26.8 mm of rain by Tuesday evening, while PAF Faisal Base received 29 mm. The old airport area measured 33.7 mm, Jinnah terminal 20.8 mm, Korangi 20.5 mm, and Gulshan -e 25 mm.

Other stations reported less but important data, including Met Office University Road 8.4 mm, Kamari 7.5 mm, Bahria Town 20.5 mm, Gulshan-e-MA -Mar trace, and Nazimabad 1.4 mm. In parts of DHA and Clifton, water accumulates on the roads, which disrupts partial urban floods and traffic.

The PMD said that moistmen coming from the Arabian Sea are running across the southeastern Sindh with widespread rainfall and thunderstorms, which led to Karachi, Hyderabad, Thatta, Badin, Sujul, Tharparkar, Umrakot, Mirpurkot, Mirpurk, Sanghar and adjoining districts from October 29.

According to the tropical storm warning center in Karachi, the low pressure system was lying on Tuesday morning at 340 km southeast of Karachi, in the Gujarat city of Surashtra.

It is likely that it will move to the West-West and will emerge in the Arabian Sea until Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. Meteorologists said it could intensify depression, including favorable conditions, including hot sea level temperatures and high level deviations, and could potentially develop a storm in the coming days.

Officials made it clear that there was no immediate danger to Pakistan’s coastal belt. However, he warned that the sea would be very rough with strong winds between 45 and 55 km per hour. Fishermen have been strictly advised not to go into deep waters by October 2.

Provincial Disaster Management officials have directed the Deputy Commissioners of Sindh and the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) to remain on alert for 24 hours and take steps to reduce in case of an emergency.

The Met Office has predicted cloudy weather in Karachi over the next 24 hours, with light light rains and the possibility of drizzle in scattered places. The maximum temperature is expected to be between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius, while the humidity is about 65 %. The winds from the southeast are expected to continue.

Authorities have also warned that strong winds and electricity can damage weak structures, power poles, billboards and solar panels in weak areas. Meanwhile, the Kotri Barrage was reported with the arrival of 335,567 cusecs in the middle -level floods on Tuesday morning, while Gadu and Score Barrage recorded normal flow.

Earlier this month, Karachi suffered heavy rains from September 8 to 10, which sank, rivers, and forced hundreds of residents to be trapped for hours. Another magic of drizzle took place on September 16. Tuesday’s fresh shower rescued the heat again late, but further flood fears were restored if the system on the Arabian Sea was strengthened in a storm in the coming days.
