Poll of the week
Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) wants to know about your thoughts that;
is it still raining, did it cross 50mm barrier in any part of the city? I am just guessing/predicting that it will rain again in couple of hours around 10pm.
Acc0rding to PMD’s IR image, the WELL-MARKED LOW has covered
wh0le SIndh and it is very cl0se to Karachi.
So, are there chances of heavy rainfall in Karachi t0day ?
Aqib and Tarim
Low focus shifted to central and south-eastern SIndh now, at 5 pm there was a “developing thunderstorm” at south-east Karachi but it later dissipated after giving drizzle…
