Karachi is currently experiencing its fifth spell of monsoon, with intermittent rain disrupting the city.
Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz reports that the weather system responsible for the rainfall is about 320 kilometers from Karachi. He forecasts more rain and strong winds for today, which could lead to urban flooding. Sarfraz advises residents to remain cautious as the rain spell is expected to continue until August 31.
The weather system, originating from a deep depression, first affected the Sindh borders before reaching Karachi. Light rain throughout the night has led to water pooling on various roads.
