Light rain and drizzle continued in different parts of Karachi during the past 24 hours, bringing pleasant weather to the city. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has released fresh rainfall figures, showing that Gulshan-e-Hadeed received the highest rainfall during the latest spell.
According to the PMD, Gulshan-e-Hadeed recorded 4.5 millimetres of rainfall, making it the wettest area in the city. Surjani Town received 4 millimetres of rain, while Gulshan-e-Maymar recorded 3.4 millimetres.

Officials said drizzle was observed in Jinnah Terminal, the Old Airport area, Korangi, North Karachi and several surrounding localities. The rainfall helped reduce daytime temperatures but also increased humidity across the city.
The Meteorological Department has forecast more rain and thunderstorms in Karachi during the next 24 hours. Weather officials said light to moderate rainfall is expected in different parts of the city as the current monsoon system continues to influence southern Sindh.
Residents have been advised to remain cautious during periods of heavy rainfall, particularly in low-lying areas where water may accumulate. Motorists have also been urged to drive carefully on wet roads and avoid unnecessary travel during thunderstorms.
According to the weather forecast, Karachi’s maximum temperature is expected to remain between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius today. During the previous 24 hours, the minimum temperature was recorded at 28.8 degrees Celsius.
The PMD said southwesterly sea winds are currently blowing at a speed of 11 kilometres per hour. Humidity in the city has reached 78 percent, creating warm and humid conditions despite intermittent rainfall.
