Karachi Weather Warms Up, Punjab Faces More Flood Threats
Karachi residents are seeing some relief as sea breezes return to the city, offering a slight respite from the heat. However, high humidity levels mean daytime temperatures could still feel quite uncomfortable. According to the Met Office, the mercury in Karachi may climb to a maximum of 34°C this week, with no heavy rainfall expected in the city.
In contrast, parts of Punjab are bracing for more rain as already flood-hit areas face the threat of worsening conditions. The National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) under NDMA has issued alerts for heavy to very heavy rainfall in Islamabad and various districts of Punjab from Monday through Wednesday.
Areas likely to experience intensified flooding include Lahore, Sialkot, Narowal, Sheikhupura, Chiniot, Sargodha, Bhakkar, Mianwali, and Faisalabad. Additional districts at risk include Murree, Rawalpindi, Jhelum, Attock, Mandi Bahauddin, Gujrat, Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Dera Ghazi Khan, Sahiwal, Multan, Bahawalnagar, Bahawalpur, and Rahim Yar Khan.
Authorities have also warned that heavy rainfall in upstream regions could cause rivers to swell, particularly at Marala Headworks, potentially triggering floods in adjacent areas. Residents in these vulnerable zones are being urged to stay alert and follow safety advisories.
