Karachi weather forecast for Thursday
KARACHI: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said on Wednesday the weather system that brought days of heavy rain to Karachi has now moved away from the city, ruling out chances of another spell of intense downpours.
The depression over the North Arabian Sea shifted westwards in the past six hours and is currently located about 110 kilometres east-southeast of Pasni, having exited Karachi. The system is expected to weaken into a well-marked low-pressure area within the next 12 hours.
The department forecast partly cloudy and humid conditions for Karachi on Thursday, with only light rain or drizzle likely in some areas. Temperatures are expected to remain between 29°C and 31°C, with high morning humidity dropping slightly by evening.
Meanwhile, the Met Department has warned of rising water levels in the River Indus. Guddu is expected to reach very high flood levels within the next 24 hours, while Sukkur is likely to experience high flood levels after 24 hours.
The forecast for Friday suggests partly cloudy and humid weather, with maximum temperatures increasing to around 30–32°C.
Downpours have inundated several low-lying areas today as the metropolis endured a third consecutive day of heavy monsoon rains, with rivers overflowing and rescue teams shifting hundreds of residents to safety.
While water was drained from Shahrah-e-Faisal, major arteries, the M-9 Motorway, and Lyari Expressway — now reopened to traffic — several localities remained underwater. A Motorway Police spokesperson confirmed that both the motorway and expressway were clear of standing water.
At least four people drowned in the Gadap River during the downpours, and two bodies, including that of a woman, have been recovered so far.
Lyari and Malir rivers, however, swelled dangerously, flooding Saadi Garden and Saadi Town, where lanes, neighbourhoods, and vehicles were submerged.
The rising Malir River also brought water onto the Korangi Causeway. In the Federal B Area and Shafi Colony, water that had entered homes from the Lyari River began to recede.
Rescue 1122, PDMA, and Pakistan Army teams carried out overnight operations, evacuating more than 350 people from flooded areas. In Gadap, another body was recovered from the river, bringing the tally to two recovered out of four who drowned, including a woman.

Lexi Minetree has finally opened up about the advice Reese Witherspoon gave her after she was cast in the Legally Blonde prequel series, Elle.
The 24-year-old budding actress attended the Amazon Upfront red carpet in New York City in the spring, where she conversed with PEOPLE magazine.
Minetree, who will play the role of Elle Woods in the forthcoming series, revealed that Witherspoon gave her some simple reminders for the character she played in the 2001 original film.
She said of the Academy award-winning actress, “She told me to make sure to drink water, make sure to rest, to breathe and to take in every moment here because it’s such a special opportunity.”
The Crowdsource Murder star went on to share that when she first realized she had landed the role Witherspoon depicted in the 2001 film, she “had every thought known to mankind all simultaneously. I’m still pinching myself that this is my life, and I just feel really grateful, honestly.”
According to Minetree, the Big Little Lies star even sees herself in her, which is a glaring sign that she is “going to age amazingly.”
“Reese is just such a good role model for people. I feel honored to be compared,” she remarked.
It is pertinent to mention that Elle, which was announced in 2024, will be released sometime in 2026.
