KARACHI – More widespread rains with scattered heavy falls are likely in Karachi, Hyderabad and parts of Sindh on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), a low-pressure system lies over lower Sindh, which will likely move westwards during the next 12 to 18 hours.
Due to this weather system, strong monsoon currents penetrate the southern half of Pakistan. A shallow westerly wave also prevails over the upper & central parts of the country.
Under these conditions, more widespread rain-wind/thundershowers with scattered heavy falls are likely in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sajawal, Thatta, Badin, Dadu, Jamshoro, Mirpurkhas, Sanghar, Khairpur, Shaheed Benazirabad, Matiari, Tando Allahyar, Tando Muhammad Khan, Sukkur, Larkana, Khairpur, Matiari, Jacobabad and Ghotki on Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, rain-wind/thundershowers are likely in Karachi, Hyderabad, Sajawal, Thatta, Badin, Jamshoro and Dadu. Partly cloudy weather is likely to prevail in other districts.
