Karachi (September 1, 2025): After days of stifling conditions, Karachiites finally got some relief on Monday as sea breezes returned to the city, pushing temperatures down and improving the overall weather. The mercury is expected to hover around 30 to 34 degrees Celsius, though high humidity will continue to make the heat feel stronger during the day.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast that Karachi’s weather will remain hot and humid over the next 24 hours, with chances of light drizzle in the evening and at night. Officials have also confirmed that there is no likelihood of heavy rainfall in the city this week.
Meanwhile, in the federal capital, Islamabad, partly cloudy skies are expected today along with strong winds and possible rain accompanied by thunderstorms. The maximum temperature is likely to touch 33 degrees Celsius. Authorities have warned of urban flooding in low-lying areas of Rawalpindi and Islamabad in case of heavy downpours.
Across Punjab, several districts including Lahore, Gujranwala, Gujrat, Sialkot, and Narowal remain vulnerable to flooding following forecasts of intense rain and thunderstorms. Northeastern regions such as Murree and Galiyat may also face landslides, potentially disrupting traffic.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is bracing for widespread rainfall, with heavier showers expected in Dir, Swat, and Mansehra. Waterlogging could impact daily life in Peshawar, Nowshera, and Mardan. In Sindh, overnight rain has been predicted for Sanghar, Ghotki, Tharparkar, and Umerkot, while parts of Balochistan including Zhob, Musakhel, and Barkhan may see thunderstorms. Kashmir is also on alert for strong winds and scattered heavy showers.
The changing weather has brought some respite to Karachi but authorities across multiple provinces remain on high alert as monsoon activity continues to pose risks of flooding and landslides.
