- Tharparkar can face 100 mm of rain with settlement up to 70 km/h.

The weather authorities have warned of heavy monsoon rains in Karachi on Tuesday, with the possibility of the city’s flood as strong wind and stormy rainfall hit the coastal town in its 10th wet magic form.
Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has stated that the city can expect magic forms for moderately to strong showers from Tuesday morning until late at night.
The weather forecast warned that “very heavy rainfalls” would probably pound Karachi today as a powerful monsoon system maintains its intensity as a deep depression over land, centered over Tharparkar.
The PMD spokesman said the system would pass close to Karachi on Tuesday and warned that the situation in the city “can remain severe”, with strong winds of 60 to 70 kilometers per hour probably under the magic form.
“This system produces intense rainfall and could deliver over 100 millimeters of rain in Karachi throughout the spell,” PMD’s Anjum Nazir said, warning of flooding of cities due to the city’s poor infrastructure.
Low -lying areas could be flooded and citizens have been encouraged to avoid weak infrastructure and remain indoors under intense showers.
In other parts of Sindh, the weather department recorded up to 80 millimeters of rain in the last spell.
Karachi’s abused drainage system cannot withstand much, reminiscent of flooded streets and stranded commuters are still fresh.
However, the authorities are trying to sound calm as the traffic police say their officers are out in the field to secure a steady stream of vehicles.
“We are active across all cities to avoid jam,” said you traffic, adding that the measures were taken on the main minister’s instructions. The information department also claimed that traffic is usually moving all over the city.
The risk still hangs heavily as K-electric, which operates the city’s power supply, has gone on a high alarm. Its spokesman said that out of over 2,100 feed was fewer than 60 affected in recent rain. In some low -lying areas and places of illegal connections, power was cut as a caution.
Currently, Karachi’s traffic remains under control and electricity is mostly stable. But the real test begins when the first heavy spell strikes. The city is waiting in the hope that it will not be drowned again.
The met office said that intermittently heavy showers with thunderstorms and Gusty Vind are expected in Karachi, Hyderabad, Tando Muhammad Khan, Tando Allahyar, Jamshoro, Thatta, Badin, Shaheed Benazirabad and other districts until September 10.
