Very active monsoon season was seen during the last one week in Pakistan especially in Sindh province which has received much rainfall than any part of Pakistan this monsoon season. Upper parts of Pakistan mainly saw isolated to scattered rainfall activity. Temperatures remained low due to enhance monsoon activity while humidity remained high. Severe destruction has occurred in Sindh province due to 2nd and 5th monsoon spell.

Precipitation and Temperature: Sept 9 – Sept 16

*Feeble western trough over Gilgit region, moving to Indian-held Kashmir.

*Low pressure over north-western Sindh and adjoining south-west Rajasthan.

*Low pressure at 998 mbar over Jharkhand, India.

Isolated to scattered thunder/rainfall may occur at few places of upper Pakistan in 48 hours, while the 5th monsoon spell has ended in Sindh, however there are chances of few isolated rain/showers in some upper and eastern parts of the province till 24 to 36 hours.

More over monsoon rainfall has been in Sindh at least 180% above than its normal, leaving the wettest areas of Punjab, Khyber and Kashmir far behind.

      In Karachi, its moderate with chance of isolated heavy fall till Sept 12 and then decrease..but one thing I will tell every one is that the spell that shows arrival of the monsoon and which determines the withdrawal of monsoon is usually erratic..so This article might be updated tomorrow..

    You’re saying that chances of isolated heavy falls in Karachi till 12th and then
    decrease is expected but most sites sh0wing HEAVY RAIN from 13th, why ?

    1. Karachi Metro Avatar

      According to PWP, this forecast is based on GFS and keeping past weather records in mind, it will be hard for rain to cross the record of July in September, so you have to keep that thing in mind as well.. in the past too, these same websites, believe me have showed 400+ rainfall but that never comes fruitful.. so PWP will revise its forecast tomorrow but as of now these are the most likely things to happen..

      Punjab and Khyber have remained in a “calm” monsoon for last few weeks, as long as there would be no western trough…I dont see any major rainfall in Up Pak…however there are chances of isolated thunder/rainfall in some parts of Up Pakistan due to moisture from ARB and Lower Pak…
