Surjani Town recorded the highest rainfall in Karachi on Saturday as monsoon activity brought light to moderate showers to several parts of the city. According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), similar weather conditions are expected to continue today and tomorrow, with cloudy skies and intermittent rainfall forecast across Karachi.

The city experienced highly humid weather during the morning before low-level clouds covered most areas later in the day. Light drizzle and scattered showers were reported in several neighborhoods, while suburban areas including Surjani Town, Gulshan-e-Maymar, and Scheme 33 received light to moderate rainfall.

Official rainfall data released by the PMD showed that Surjani Town recorded the highest rainfall at 4 millimeters. Gulshan-e-Maymar received 3.4 millimeters, while PAF Base Masroor recorded 2.3 millimeters. Gulshan-e-Hadeed registered the lowest rainfall among the monitored locations with 1.5 millimeters.

PMD spokesperson and Deputy Director Anjum Nazir Zaigham said Karachi is expected to remain mostly cloudy through Sunday and Monday, with chances of thunderstorms accompanied by light to moderate rain. However, he clarified that the current weather system is not expected to produce heavy rainfall in the city.

According to the department’s early warning update, the low-pressure weather system has weakened after previously developing into a depression. It is currently located over southeastern Rajasthan, India. Although the system has weakened, monsoon currents from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal continue to influence weather conditions across Pakistan’s central and northern regions.

Meteorologists also noted that a separate western weather system is affecting the country’s northern areas and could strengthen further, bringing additional rainfall to upper and central parts of Pakistan in the coming days.

Meanwhile, several districts of rural Sindh are expected to experience thunderstorms, gusty winds, and moderate to heavy rainfall due to ongoing monsoon activity. Authorities have warned that heavy downpours in some districts could trigger urban flooding in low-lying areas.

The PMD reported that Karachi’s maximum temperature reached 35.8 degrees Celsius on Saturday, while humidity remained high at 72 percent, contributing to muggy conditions despite the rainfall. Residents have been advised to stay updated with official weather forecasts as monsoon conditions continue to evolve across the region.
