Karachi, September 9, 2025 – Dark clouds covered the skies of Karachi on Tuesday morning, signaling the possibility of heavy thunderstorms in the coming hours.
The financial and industrial hub of Pakistan has already experienced humid and unsettled weather conditions, which are now expected to intensify.
According to AccuWeather forecasts, the city may witness morning thunderstorms, followed by scattered showers in different areas throughout the day. Meteorologists warn that strong winds could accompany the downpour, reducing visibility on roads and affecting flight operations. Residents have been advised to take necessary precautions while commuting, as waterlogging in low-lying neighborhoods remains a persistent concern whenever rainfall hits Karachi.
The weather outlook for the midweek suggests that intermittent rainfall will continue on Wednesday, with broken intervals of showers during the afternoon. On Thursday, light rain is likely to occur in certain areas during the morning, followed by partly sunny spells later in the day. The fluctuating weather pattern reflects the influence of monsoon currents that continue to impact southern Pakistan.
Health experts caution citizens against unnecessary outdoor exposure during thunderstorms, especially with fluctuating UV levels and high humidity making conditions uncomfortable. Meanwhile, city authorities are preparing emergency measures to respond to possible flooding and drainage issues.
Karachi, being highly vulnerable to urban flooding, faces significant challenges every monsoon season. While the rains provide some relief from the sweltering heat, they also highlight the city’s fragile infrastructure, making preparedness crucial for residents and civic agencies alike.
