Light rainfall swept across Karachi on March 26, bringing relief from the intense heat as drizzle and cool winds were recorded in several parts of the city. The rain began in central areas, including Saddar, Clifton, M.A. Jinnah Road, and the Old City Area, before spreading to northern localities such as North Karachi, New Karachi, and Surjani Town.
The showers were preceded by strong, gusty winds, while the rainfall remained light but caused a noticeable drop in temperature in multiple areas. No immediate disruptions were reported, although intermittent rainfall is expected to continue in parts of the city.
The development follows earlier weather warnings for a wet spell across Sindh, with forecasts indicating rain and thunderstorms in Karachi and nearby districts between March 25 and 29. Authorities have cautioned that strong winds and possible hail may damage weak structures and have advised residents to take precautionary measures.
Officials have directed local administrations to remain on high alert, ensure drainage systems are functioning properly, and maintain traffic flow during the expected weather conditions as the changing weather pattern continues across the region.
