Heavy showers accompanied by thunderstorms are predicted to hit Karachi starting today, as announced by the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD). The weather forecast also includes additional rainfall anticipated in several other cities across Pakistan, such as Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Gujranwala, and Lahore.

Warnings of Urban Flooding and Landslide Risks

The PMD has issued warnings about the potential risks of urban flooding in various cities and the danger of landslides in hilly areas. These cautionary measures aim to ensure the safety and well-being of the residents.

In response to the impending heavy rainfall, Karachi Mayor Murtaza Wahab has declared a rain emergency in the city.

In Lahore, over 10 lives were tragically lost due to a roof collapse caused by torrential rains. Moreover, a bus overturned near Hazara Interchange, causing injuries to seven individuals. In Attock’s Karbala area, heavy showers resulted in the collapse of a house’s cement nets, leading to injuries sustained by four people.
