Rains return after 7 days!
New Update is issued on July 4 – Go Below
Temperature and Precipitation till July 5
Monsoon has advanced into the northern areas of the country mainly Azad Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and northern Punjab on June 27. Last rains (pre-monsoon) that occurred in the country was on June 16/June 17. After that rain (monsoon) again started falling from June 25. On June 26, 65 mm rain fell in Murree, Punjab while on June 27, 71 mm rain fell in Bannu, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The first spell of monsoon rains is mostly moderate and it has become significant only due to the western trough ’11’, the rains can continue till early first week of July. Across the border, North-western India had one of it’s worst flood in years with fresh heavy rain falling near the flood-hit areas.
Factors – Present Conditions
*Western trough ’11′ is over the north-western areas of the country.
*Low pressure over south-east Utter Pradesh (India).
Emerging Factors – Effect on Monsoon
Sea surface temperature – Dust cloud
*INDIAN OCEAN DIPOLE – Sea temperatures in the western Indian ocean near African coast are cool while the temperatures in the eastern Indian ocean near Indonesia are high. Slight trend towards negative Indian ocean dipole.
*DUST CLOUD – Strong dust cloud presence over southern, moderate over central while weak over the northern areas.
Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP)’s forecast
“Notice: This is the forecast from Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP), we are 80% confident with this prediction. There will be slight variations in our forecast as certain meteorological factors develop and fade as time passes by and these factors are too isolated to be noticed on numerical charts or models. According to various meteorological parameters this forecast has been made.”
PWP’s expected condition on June 29 night/June 30
- The Article would be updated when once the first spell is over!
Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) successfully predicted the onset of the pre-monsoon activity in the country as PWP’s pre-monsoon forecast was around June 14 (+2,-2 day error), PWP on June 4 told that scattered to widespread pre-monsoon can occur in the country and on June 8 PWP told that very heavy rainfall can occur in NE Punjab though SE Sindh did not get the ‘expected intensity’ rains. For the onset of Monsoon, PWP in it’s Monsoon V published on June 6 did say that monsoon onset can happen during the last week of June/first week of July while on June 23 (upgraded the chances of monsoon to ‘extremely high’ on June 26), PWP said that monsoon onset can occur in the northern areas on June 26 (+1, -1 day error), isolated rains started June 25 while monsoon advanced into these areas on June 27.
As of 5:00 pm PKT June 28, Various models, numerical charts and other meteorological parameters observed by PWP for the track of developing weather systems are shown as;
*On June 22, a low pressure formed over Bay of Bengal and moved in a WNW direction towards Odisha coast on June 24, the next day it lied over North Chhattisgrah. On June 27, it was over south-east Utter Pradesh with some deepening. This low pressure had an encounter with the western trough ’11’ over the north-western areas of Pakistan on June 27 that will cause the low to persist till next two to three days over the some area, the moisture will cross into Nepal and China. The interaction with the western system can cause some thunderstorms to form north-eastern parts of Pakistan on June 28 night/June 29. There is another possibility (only GFS) of a circulation/low forming over the central parts of India that will merge with the monsoon axis over Himalayan ranges over the northern India during the first week of July.

GFS shows UAC/Low over central India on July 12
Monsoon moisture is continuously penetrating into Sindh while it is weak in South Punjab, monsoon can advance into Sindh and South Punjab during early mid-week of July as a fresh low pressure can bring rains to Sindh on July 13/July 14. PWP will monitor this situation again.
Poll of the Week
Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) wanted to know your thoughts and by far 160 votes have been casted, 30.6% people believe that monsoon will cover the country by the last week of july while 20% believe that it will happen during the second week of July;
Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) 
babar bhai what will be the weather in sukkur in coming days till 15 jully
Mentioned till Early July.
Mostly dry weather expected in the city with passing clouds as no major rain is seen.
Very much detailed forecast..
I want to ask 2 qustions
1>there are strong winds in sindh from some days when will they end?
2>can we say no rain coming in sindh in july?
Plz answer in detail
Thank you Waseem 🙂
1. These strong winds are mostly due to the westerlies that has weakened the already weak easterlies over south-east Sindh. They would end once the WD ’11’ weakens and moves way.
2. No there are slight chances of rain in Sindh in July but not the major chances that we saw in 2011 and late 2012 monsoon. Monsoon does not start in June in Sindh, it mostly starts during the second or mid-week of July. We still have time.
That dust cloud concentration over Sindh is too strong.
I don’t think Sindh is seeing any Monsoon rains in July. Sad !
Yes.
I am little optimistic about rains though not about drenching rain but some stable rain can occur. Monsoon does not start in June in Sindh, it mostly starts during the second or mid-week of July. We still have time.
Dust cloud is showing no signs of weakening.
august and september are the real monsoon months of karachi 🙂
In which we barely see 150+ mm :p
in the begining there are chances of monsoon rain in sindh because of high temperature. But now the south western winds are so strong in karachi which resist a hot weather.Therefore not any chances of monsoon rain.south western winds which bring a cloud with him are not responsible for any rain in karachi due to the low altitude of karachi.It only causes a drizzling and fast wind.Rain is always come when hot wind mix up with the cold wind of sea.This typs of phenomenon is not occur in karachi.
hmmmm
Dust Cloud phenomena is baseless. According to Jim Andrews (Accuweather.com Expert), there is no link between Monsoon and Dust Clouds. Here is the answer, he gave to my question via email. Kindly read it.
Dear Kazim,
Some of the information found in the reader article may not be accurate. It is known that airborne dust can suppress deep convection over tropical oceans, lowering the frequency of tropical cyclones. This has been observed for the Atlantic Ocean. Could this be true over land? Well, I guess so. However, dust over Pakistan may also imply lingering influence upon regional weather by the Westerlies, which by itself would likely yield low rainfall in and near Pakistan.
The other argument (splitting of the Monsoon) strikes me as spurious. As you know, the rain giving monsoon is a SW current; the easterly flow that he depicts is high aloft.
As for desertification and the drought feed-back cycle, I do not know if a massive tree-planting mission would have any meaningful bearing. Most of the land between Pakistan and west Africa has been desert for thousands of years.
I hope this help you to better understand.
Jim
Craig Dremann’s dust cloud theory has some weight though since its new therefore it needs a further research to establish a direct link with the monsoon season though monsoon’s behavior and frequency depends upon several other atmospheric factors (excluding the Dust cloud).
The way he has compared the dust cloud with the thunderstorm movement is interesting.
Dear Jim and All,
Thanks for your comments. I have posted a reply six spaces down, with a link to the June 29, 2013 Dust Cloud image, along with my predictions of more stalling of the monsoon in India which may continuing the floods, and the lack of rainfall continuing in Pakistan because the Dust Cloud is currently occupying the country.
I am not saying that the Dust Cloud is splitting the monsoon, it is stalling and blocking the monsoon currently, causing the floods in India right now.
Anyone can compare the daily Pakistan-Arabia Dust Cloud image and see that wherever the Dust Cloud is over a part of the country, usually there is no rainfall and heat and drought follows. And when the Dust Clouds moves or there is a break, then the rains follow. And when the Dust Cloud makes a barrier, then the monsoon stalls and o the east of the barrier, and can cause floods.
The question to ask the experts, is atmospheric dust included in most climate models currently? When the atmospheric dust is factored in eventually, a whole new picture, especially of the summer Indian-Pakistan-Arabia monsoon moisture flows, droughts and floods, will be very clear to all the climatologists and meteorologists and the weather forecasters.
What I am trying to suggest, is that monitoring the daily Dust Cloud may give the people of Pakistan and India a forecast warning of very near future floods, surface dust storms, heat waves and droughts.
Since this Dust Cloud is man-made, then we have the opportunity to change and make it go away, but stop feeding it the planet’s soil. I am not suggesting tree-planting in any deserts, just leaving enough of the natural desert vegetation soil cover, to cover the soil to keep it from getting airborne. Like the native desert grasses, and desert wildflowers, etc. You have to start with the smallest things first, like the desert weeds.
As per latest model the dust cloud will start to weaken after 5th july.
is there are high chances of good amount of rainfall in multan
No ‘high chance of good amount of rain in Multan’ seen.
Wait for the first spell to end in the north.
in july
no :p
last night severe supercell thunderstorm hit Islamabad/Pindi…………was just AWESOME. extreme rain ( though for 15-20 min ) and damaging winds gave a horrible sight.
Babar Bhai can u find out the wind speed in Isl/pindi last night plzzz???
Yes people from Islamabad/Pindi are telling that severe weather that occurred in the twin cities during the mid-night.
Islamabad airport has reported 93 km/h winds.
I know right!!! Microbursts produced by the supercell were so intense and damage could be seen on the eastern parts of Rawalpindi. Even my own house wind was blown away and a tree was down just by our house and those things have survived a 145 km/h wind gusts last June so I can only imagine how awesome this last one was. The wind speed in Islamabad wasn’t reported but Babar already told you the wind in Rawalpindi to have reached 93 km/h 🙂 I can assure you wind gusts during the peak of the storm exceeded hurrican force (120 km/h).
Different areas can have different windspeed. Maybe your area had 120 km/h, 93 km/h was recorded from Islamabad Airport.
awindow was blown away*
Hey Osama, you asked for the wind speed and upon asking I got maximum wind gust values. At 3:10 AM, a 102 km/h (55 kts) wind gust was reported at Chaklala, Rawalpindi while at 3:05 AM 74 km/h (40 kts) wind gust was recorded at Zero point, Islamabad. 😀
Today the Pakistan-Arabia Dust Cloud has formed a solid wall against the monsoon, that you can see at http://www.ecoseeds.com/dust-6-29-13.png and unless it weakens or moves westward, Pakistan may experience dry weather with high humidity and strong winds plus surface dust storms.
You can see on the Dust Storm image for today, where the dust is being generated in the central-southern part of Pakistan, and that will be area with the lowest rainfall–wherever the lack of vegetation can produce bare soil that can get airborne and feed the Dust Cloud. The Dust Cloud is stalling the monsoons over India at the same time, causing the terrible floods in India.
When we do not leave any vegetation cover to keep the soil from getting airborne, are the feeders and creators of the Dust Cloud, and at the same time, we can stop feeding it, so that the normal monsoon flow is not blocked or stalled in the future.
I just completed a painting of the battle between the Dust Cloud and the field of battle between these two powerful forces, when they engage in their annual summer fight over Pakistan and India that they have been doing for the last 5,000 years, in my painting number 48 at http://www.ecoseeds.com/art3.html.
Yes I remember it.What will happen in isb and khaur.
the rain has occured in multan in 5 minutes
Good.
Should we be expecting more rain in Jalalia??
Yes the chances persist till tomorrow.
Ok thanks. We had only two nights of rain for this spell.. 1 night of rain, next dry, then another night of rain, and today again dry, let’s see what happens tonight.
Babar Bhai No rain ocuured in Risalpur during current spell. Why? Is there any chances of Rain in coming Days.
Are you sure? Because in the surrounding areas it has rained though it was stable in intensity. WD ’11’ is now more focused towards Punjab and Azad Kashmir than KPK (as compared to last three days). A thundercloud can develop during the evening, watch for its movement.
Lahore had a nice rain with very strong winds last night. Right now, its calm over there. Bro, is it end of first spell if monsoon?
Yes, did see the scenes on TV it was epic.
The spell persists till 48 hours though intensity would weaken from tonight.
Surely,very nice work done.
Mr.Craig Dremann please paste the link from where we can see the daily conditions of dust cloud over sub-continent .Thanks
Go to http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/aerosol/index_shortcuts.html and look on the left side under PRODUCT, then look for NAAPS Current, then go to the right to the green dot under Region–IndOcn. When the page comes up, the Dust Cloud is in the lower left hand corner.
http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/aerosol_web/loop_html/globaer_india_loop.html
When will it rain in Karachi in July?Is there any good chance?And how does dust cloud effect rain in Karachi?
In short, no chances of ‘rain’ in Karachi, dust clouds blocks/limits the movement of thunderclouds.
This type of sharp drizzle are not common in karachi. A wind which come from the only southern direction result in sharp drizzle and lightening.You also observe the movement of cloud which only come from the southern direction which result this sharp drizzle.This is big weather change in karachi.A sharp drizzle is cause as a result of change in the direction of wind in the southern direction which normally come from the south western direction.

AOA..Babar bhai monsoon 2nd spell kab start ho ga…
Walikum Assalam,
It can start during the second week of July, it is also following a similar pattern like the first one.
Babar Bhai I appreciate your Blog. This is the only accurately forecasting blog. One thing that in pre monsoon Risalpur received good rain On15th june night. But no Rain occured in The first Spell Of monsoon. Why? Is there chance of Rain in Risalpur during Second Spell of Monsoon?
Thank you Imtiaz,
The thing that I observed in this first spell was that the thunderclouds were stronger over Khurram Agency and adjoining Agency as they were moving eastwards they weakened thats why no to little rain occurred in Nowshera district including Risalpur, even Peshawar city.
There are chances of rain/showers during the second spell, this spell can be weaker than the first one at the moment.
Isolated But heavy rain shower now in Phase 5 DHA Lahore, I
These thunderclouds are coming from India.
Whenever I’m free I read the memorable PWP articles of 2011 🙂
Hahahaha.
2011 was a fresh start 😛
Your first article I ever read was “When will Monsoon start over Pakistan ? – In detail!” 😀
I was randomly searching the web for monsoon updates and I found your blog 🙂
Great! 🙂
That article was very lengthy, it took time to write it and it is my favorite monsoon article 😀
hehe…. same here bros….
i was also searching the same thing for the very first time….
and i got to know about the link in google naming karachimetrological.wordpress.com… or something like that….
Yup ! 😀
Great 😀
Low pressure forming in the Bay around 13th july ?
An Indian blog showing that the Monsoon could hit Karachi around 12 july.
And they’re showing heavy rainfall in the Northern areas on 9th july.
Northern Pakistan*
What do you say ?
That blog belongs to a good friend of PWP 🙂
1. By looking at the maps and charts, rain activity is being focused over NE Punjab and adjoining northern Punjab, 65 mm till 80 mm rain is being showed due to 2nd spell there at the moment. Similar story for Khurram and adjoining Agency of FATA.
2. While monsoon moisture has started reaching Sindh, tonight a bulk of thunderstorm was just NE and E of Sindh. Once the second monsoon spell starts in northern areas, Karachi can experience frequent drizzle/showers but proper onset could happen after July 12, mainly from July 13 or July 15.
3. Current low will move into south Gujarat due to which we can see similar thunderclouds that we saw today in E.Sindh and adjoining coastal Sindh. A fresh circulation in NW Bay can form on July 6 and move inland on July 7, Only GFS shows it intensifying.
Last night south-estern part of Tharparkar District has recieved light shower.
Yes, good cloud activity was seen. More chances persists
Thanks for the info.
It’s a great blog btw 😀
Everyday I make sure I check out their latest updates after checking PWP 😀
AOA…Babar bhai bahawalpur me tonight ya tomorow rain ho sakti hai…
Walikum Assalam.
No chances of rain. Thunderclouds can form W of Rajasthan that can bring drizzle/isolated showers. Clouds are coming from india.
High and Mid level clouds in Karachi 🙂
What about the dust cloud Mr. KM ?
It seems to be weakening
Yes the dust cloud has weakened from the strong stage.
Yes the Dust Clouds seems to be weakening after observing the clouds movements…. please share the latest dust cloud data babar bhai if you could.
Best Regards
The Navy website’s link seems to be broken or the website is down, I would post it as soon as it comes back.
Yes It says we don’t have permission :p
Babar, you will need to contact the webmaster directly and explain why all of the internet traffic to view their NAAPS website has been coming from your country, and what the Dust Cloud images are needed for, and see if they can set up a direct link for the Indian Ocean dust cloud images.
Unfortunately, there are no other sources of daily Dust Cloud images anywhere on the planet currently. Otherwise, those images will no linger be available for viewing. Let us all know what the new URL link will be, if you are able to get it established.
There is a large Thundercloud forming over Upper Sindh.
Large thunderstorm indeed, reports of showers/rain with thunder/lightning in Sanghar and Khairpur district.
We would see a good start of Monsoon if the fresh low pressure comes to Sindh.
Yes true.
The Navy website is still not working. 😦
Some problem within their site maybe.
Babar, another option is to ask if the NAAPS webmaster email you the daily Dust Cloud image for the Indian Ocean, and you post it somewhere on your server?
Okay I will email them.
And it would be better if you contact them as well.
Can this thundercloud over Sindh further weaken the dust cloud ?
The dust cloud has weakened that is the reason thunderstorms rolled into Sindh according to the “dust cloud and monsoon theory”.
Yes further weakening can happen that is reason why we might see monsoon rains during the early mid-week oF July
Yay !!!
Yes I hope so..
Missing that moment when there is a thick low lying black cloud in NE and as it approaches a big gust of wind starts blowing and within minutes sheets of rain starts falling 😛 Best moment of Monsoon!! 😀
It is raining lightly in Hyd from past half hour, is there chances of more rain till tomorrow morning or tomorrow night?
Yes, chances persist till 24 hours.
yes babar bhai , i thk new formation in BOB intensify ,, karachi me bht teez barishe hone wali hai 😀
@KM
Yeah I miss it too. 😀
Haven’t seen that cloud in a long time 😦 😦 😦
It’s called a shelf cloud 🙂
That cloud is a non precipitation cloud.
As soon as it passes by, thunderclouds immediately follow it.
Hi. We are getting white clouds (sorry for lack of technical term) today in our area of North Western Punjab which is Jalalia, Attock area. Do the white clouds carry rain? Are we getting rain tonight or tomorrow morning/ night??
Are the clouds high, low or mid?
Tonight there are chances of showers in NE Punjab. From tomorrow evening/night there would be chances of isolated rain in NW punjab.
heavy rains are expected in upper Sindh specially in sukkur in jully?
Chances of light to moderate rains.
Babar bhai kal humari city Mirpurkhas m achi khasi Rain hui jo k 22 mm record ki gai mgr Babar bhai ap ne aixi koi forcast nhi batai thi jix m Mirpurkhas ka zikar ho infect kafi web sites pr Mirpurkhas m rain ka nhi tha Siway PMD ki site k aixa kiyon hua???our Mirpurkhas City m Heavy to V Heavy Rains kb hongi???
Yes well-aware of it. I mention those areas which had high probability of this activity though I mentioned that Tharparker and adjoining districts, Mirpur Khas district is just West of Tharparkar.
Take a look at this KM 😀
http://www.timeanddate.com/weather/pakistan/karachi/ext
That is great 😀
Many websites showing rain in Sindh from 13th july 😀
Yes I hope they dont change. Conditions are favorable at the moment for monsoon onset during that period.
is there are chances of rain in bahawalpur evening/tonight or tomorrow?
Thunderclouds that form over Rajasthan are dissipating over W.Rajasthan. At the moment, few high level and mid level clouds are penetrating into eastern Bahawalpur district therefore slim chances of drizzle/isolated shower tonight.
these clouds are coming from india into bahawalpur.
Babar Bhai Very hot weather is back in Risalpur since two days. Is there good chance of Rain in Risalpur in The second Spell of Monsoon? And one thing that i want to remind you that you should issue a detailed forecast for Ramazan-ul-Mubarak. Thanks
There are chances of showers/rain during the second spell.
I am thinking about the Ramadan article but since everyday a ‘Monsoon of Pakistan’ is updated and Pakistan Weather Update is issued/updated after one week so there is no need to post a detailed article but I will see.
Regards.
As the Dust cloud is fading, now are there chances of some Heavy showers in Hyd? weatherchannel is showing rains by 14th july.
There are chances of monsoon rains during the mid-week of July, would talk about the intensity in the coming weeks ‘Monsoon of Pak’ page and ‘Pakistan Weather Update (July 12 – 26)’
Bro, can youkindly issue forecast for Lahore and Islamabad for next few days?
Mentioned in this article and ‘Monsoon of Pak’ page.
Why doesn’t BOB produce Well-marked Low and Depressions anymore ? 😦
I believe that after 2010, the activity in Bay of Bengal has decreased especially before monsoon (May and June), in post monsoon we saw depressions. On the other hand, activity in Arabian sea has increased (this year we saw two low pressure in the Arabian sea). There was a research few years back which stated that due to climate change the number of cyclones will decrease in Bay but those which will form will be very dangerous, it also stated that activity in Arabian sea will increase.
Which means that Karachi will become a rainy city after some years 🙂
hahahaha…lets see 😛
It’s good to see Thunderclouds frequently forming over Sindh 🙂
Yes, after long time we saw such activity 😛
And will you publish the Whole month forecast for Ramzan?
I am thinking though there is no need for it as ‘Monsoon of Pakistan’ page already gives daily monsoon updates.

Uhm, I’m not disappointed, I’m happy that GFS is showing the low pressure entering Sindh 😀
I know it will keep on changing 3 times a day, I just hope that the track remains the same. 🙂
hahahaha…good 😀
Has the low pressure formed or is it yet to form ?
Not yet.
Bro, why is Sialkot one of wettest places of Pakistan? Any special reason for that?
Northern and north-eastern cities of Pakistan are more wet as compared to the other parts of the country because of the Himalayas, while monsoon trough runs though northern Indian, Nepal till the north-eastern areas of Pakistan.

Sir, 2013 ka monsoon, 2011 ki monsoon ‘dates’ ke mutabiq horaha hai.
Upper parts of Pakistan mein, 1st spell 27 June 2011 ko hua tha. Aor iss bar bhi. 2nd spell 7th July 2011 ko hua tha, iss baar bhi. es ki kya wajah hai.
There is no reason, nothing but a coincident!
Bro, any chance of further rain over Lahore-Islamabad GT road sector within next 2 days? If yes, what will be its expected intensity?
Yes.
By July 7 night/July 8, the activity might be stronger in upper areas of Punjab than rest of the part.
Thanks bro

Chances of drizzle.
These are SW clouds,these clouds aren’t capable of causing significant rain.
It’s going to be sunny after an hour.
yah know that but any formaton expect
Not until 12th.
k
GFS showing low pressure dissipating before entering Sindh, no site showing rains in Karachi now.
It will keep changing though the chances of rain during mid-week of July still persist!
AOA babar bahi I want to ask the ques from pwp why the cumulus cloud is not formed from south western wind of karachi.why stratus cloud is formed from sea wind which always causes a drizzle?sea breezes cause rain and thunderstorms according to McRoberts.But the effect varies with location.The incoming sea breeze is cooler than the air over land. This creates a small-scale cold front called a sea-breeze front. Like most cold fronts, sea breeze fronts can create showers and thunderstorms that pop up along the frontal boundary because it lifts the warm air ahead of it, which leads to convection. Sea breeze storms are common during the summer in places like Houston or New Orleans. why sea breeze storm are not common in karachi.Is the reason of no storm formation in karachi has low elevation of karachi?
Walikum Assalam,
Those Cumulus clouds come along the SW breeze not Stratus clouds. Just take the example of Mumbai and Karachi, both the cities are almost similar. Mumbai has western ghats that act as barrier to the moisture winds, therefore local thunderstorm keep on forming here in the summer season. Karachi has no such mountain range near it, it is mostly surrounded by deserts.
A sea-breeze front is a weather front created by a sea-breeze, also known as a convergence zone. The cold air from the sea meets the warmer air from the land and creates a boundary like a shallow cold front. When powerful this front creates cumulus clouds, and if the air is humid and unstable, cumulonimbus clouds, the front can sometimes trigger thunderstorms.why sea breeze front are not created in karachi?
Mentioned in the previous comment.
