Several parts of Karachi experienced light drizzle on Monday night, marking the first day of Eid ul Adha. Reports of light rain came from Clifton, Defence Housing Authority (DHA), and adjoining areas.
A local weather forecast website attributed the drizzle to the influence of the Somalian Thrust. “Sea clouds will remain fairly active for the next 36 hours, mainly during night and morning hours,” it forecasted.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department’s (PMD) Early Warning Center had predicted hot and humid weather in Karachi throughout the three days of Eid ul Adha. Maximum temperatures are expected to range between 35 to 37 degrees Celsius, with humidity levels of 50 to 60%.
“There may be westerly or evening sea breezes between morning and afternoon hours. In other parts of the province, the weather is anticipated to be hot to extremely hot,” the PMD stated. There is also a chance of isolated to widespread thunderstorms in certain areas of the Tharparkar district.
On June 6, Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz reported that the metropolis would remain partly cloudy and windy for the next 10 days. He also warned of a possible heatwave in upper and central Sindh starting next week.
