Light rain turns the weather pleasant in different parts of Karachi this morning, while strong winds are blowing in the city and the sky is cloudy, making the temperature relatively moderate.
The Meteorological Department said that the weather will remain partly cloudy during the next 24 hours, and light rain or drizzle is likely in different parts of the city. The moisture content in the air has also increased, due to which the weather is expected to remain humid.
It may be recalled that just a few days ago, on September 7, 2025, Karachi faced a severe weather situation when torrential rains hit the city. The torrential rain, which lasted for several hours, severely affected daily life, with roads looking like rivers, and water accumulating several feet in many areas.
Meanwhile, floodwaters from the Indus River have unleashed devastation across Kashmore, Guddu Barrage, Obaro, and Uch Sharif, submerging dozens of villages, destroying homes, and drowning standing crops.
In Kashmore, the water level continues to rise, inundating more villages. At Guddu Barrage, the flow has crossed 635,000 cusecs, with water levels climbing by 23,490 cusecs in the past 24 hours. The situation has put immense pressure on protective embankments, threatening nearby communities.
In Obaro, multiple villages were submerged as floodwaters swept through agricultural lands, leaving residents with no option but to migrate.
Similarly, in Uch Sharif, floodwaters from the Head Panjnad submerged entire settlements, washing away hundreds of livestock. Villagers in Chakar Di Basti, Basti Daulatpur, Basti Huso Khan, Basti Abdullah Khan Bhaghla, Basti Nehr, Basti Mahesar, Basti Theme, and Basti Bhanda Poli have been left stranded without relief.
Locals complain that no tents, food, or official aid have reached them. Many families said they were trapped with children, belongings, and animals amid scorching heat and swarms of mosquitoes, relying only on donations from private philanthropists.
“Our homes and possessions are gone. We beg the government to declare our area a calamity-hit area and provide us relief,” flood victims appealed.
In Arifwala, floods washed away homes and crops, leaving survivors in roadside camps. In Ahmedpur Sial, water has receded but left devastation behind, with several localities like Pahanpur still under four feet of stagnant water, crippling transport and daily life.
Meanwhile, the raging flood in the Sutlej River has swallowed livelihoods in Qaboola, sweeping away property as children, women, and the elderly endure life under the open sky.
