Karachi Residents Relieved by Unexpected Rain Showers

Residents of Karachi experienced a welcome relief from the scorching heat as light rain showers graced various parts of the city on Friday evening. The rain caused a slight drop in temperature, bringing much-needed respite to the residents. Areas such as Gulshan-e-Iqbal, University Road, and Gulistan-e-Johar received the drizzle, while other parts like Surjani Town, Scheme 33, Hawksbay, Baldia Town, Maripur, and Nazimabad also witnessed light rainfall. Weather experts predict that the city will continue to experience light precipitation along with strong winds over the next 24 hours. This weather phenomenon is attributed to the arrival of rain-producing cloud remnants from Balochistan, carried by western winds.
