Heavy Rain and Strong Winds Expected as Low-Pressure System Approaches Sindh
Karachi – A low-pressure system over the region is expected to move west-southwest and reach the northeast Arabian Sea near the Gulf of Kutch by late tonight or early Wednesday morning, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned.
The PMD said favorable conditions, including warm sea surface temperatures, low to moderate vertical wind shear, and upper-level divergence, could cause the system to intensify into a depression by tomorrow. Initially, it will continue moving in a west-southwest direction.
As a result, light to moderate rainfall accompanied by wind and thunderstorms is likely in several districts of Sindh, including Tharparkar, Umerkot, Sanghar, Mirpur Khas, Badin, Shaheed Benazirabad, Noshahroferoz, Hyderabad, Jamshoro, Thatta, Sujawal, Tando Muhammad Khan, Tando Allahyar, Matiari, as well as Karachi Division, today and tomorrow.
Sea conditions are expected to be rough to very rough, with squally winds reaching 45–55 km/h. Fishermen have been strongly advised to avoid venturing into deep seas until October 2.
The PMD’s Cyclone Warning Centre in Karachi is closely monitoring the system and will provide updates as the situation develops.
