The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted cloudy weather in Karachi on Monday, with chances of light drizzle in the evening and night.
According to the Met Office, sea breezes have resumed in the city, improving the overall weather conditions. However, due to high humidity, residents may experience discomfort from the heat during the day. The maximum temperature is expected to reach 34°C. Officials clarified that no heavy rainfall is forecast for Karachi this week.
Meanwhile, parts of Punjab already hit by severe floods are likely to face more challenges as heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected from Monday till Wednesday.
The National Emergency Operations Center of the NDMA has issued an alert for Islamabad and multiple districts of Punjab, warning of an intensification of the flood situation.
The flood-hit districts likely to be affected include Lahore, Sialkot, Narowal, Sheikhupura, Chiniot, Sargodha, Bhakkar, Mianwali, and Faisalabad. Other vulnerable areas include Murree, Rawalpindi, Jhelum, Attock, Mandi Bahauddin, Gujrat, Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Dera Ghazi Khan, Sahiwal, Multan, Bahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, and Rahim Yar Khan.
Authorities have cautioned that heavy rains in upper regions, coupled with high river flows, may cause a sharp rise in water levels at Marala Headworks, potentially worsening the flood situation in nearby areas.
