Yesterday weather pundits said that the chances of rainfall in Karachi have significantly diminished as the weather system responsible for bringing rain was moved away from the city.
The system, which caused unusual heat and rain in the city, shifted towards the sea due to northeastern winds blowing at 25 kilometres per hour from Balochistan on Friday afternoon. This movement reduced the likelihood of rain.
The low-pressure area in the Arabian Sea has moved away from the city’s airspace and weakened compared to the previous day.
A weather official stated that there remains a possibility of rain until Saturday afternoon, with a chance that the system could lower again and cause rainfall. However, the low-pressure area is expected to dissipate over the Arabian Sea by Saturday evening.
