Karachi Weather Forecast: Intermittent Rain Expected from September 18-2023

Residents of Karachi should prepare for intermittent rainfall from September 18th to September 20th, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD). The weather agency has attributed this forecast to moderate monsoon currents originating from the Bay of Bengal, expected to make their way into the upper regions of the country starting from the evening of September 15th.

Under the influence of these monsoon currents, a range of regions is expected to experience rain, wind, and thunderstorms. This includes areas in Kashmir such as Neelum Valley, Muzaffarabad, Poonch, Hattian, Bagh, Haveli, Sudhanoti, Kotli, Bhimber, and Mirpur, among others. In Gilgit Baltistan, residents of Diamir, Astore, Ghizer, Skardu, Hunza, Gilgit, Ghanche, and Shigar should also anticipate these weather conditions.

Moreover, the forecast extends to Murree, Galliyat, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum, Mandi Bahauddin, Hafizabad, Gujranwala, Gujrat, Sialkot, Narowal, Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura, Chitral, Dir, Swat, Shangla, Buner, Mansehra, Kohistan, Abbottabad, Haripur, Kohat, Peshawar, Mardan, Swabi, and Nowshera, with the intermittent gaps in between the rainfall.

For some areas, the rain and thunderstorm activity is expected to commence on the evening of September 15th and persist until September 20th. This spells potential relief for regions like Kurram, Lakki Marwat, Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu, Karak, Waziristan, Mianwali, Sargodha, Khushab, Faisalabad, Toba Tek Singh, Jhang, and Bhakkar.

Meanwhile, Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur, Musa Khel, Barkhan, Zhob, Kalat, Khuzdar, Mirpurkhas, Khairpur, Tharparkar, Umer Kot, and Sanghar are also expected to receive their share of rainfall during this period.
