KARACHI: The metropolis received heavy to moderate showers on Saturday which inundated several roads and increased issues faced by commuters.
Many of Karachi’s thoroughfares were inundated during and after the rainfall and several vehicles stalled, further compounding the miseries of the commuters.
It was the third spell of rain this week to lash the city plagued with rickety infrastructure.
Rain was reported in the port city’s Saddar, Clifton, Defense Housing Authority (DHA), PECHS, Landhi, Korangi and adjoining areas. There were also reports of cloud bursts over Tin Hatti, Nishtar Road, Lasbela, Garden East, Golimar and Soldier Bazaar.
Today, the city’s southern areas received heavy to at times very heavy rainfall, unlike previous days as the rain system entered the city from the sea-facing areas.
Earlier, Met Office said that a new western wave was poised to enter Balochistan today, with potential implications for Karachi’s weather conditions on February 3 and 4. The Meteorological Department anticipated the arrival of this weather system, which could lead to thundershowers in the coastal metropolis.
