KARACHI: After days of intense heat, residents of Karachi were hoping for some respite on Friday as light precipitation was reported in several areas of the city.
There were brief showers in a number of locations, including Gulshan-e-Maymar, Sohrab Goth, Scheme 33, Federal B Area, Liaquatabad, University Road, Stadium Road, and PECHS.
Temperatures had been reaching beyond 40 degrees Celsius in recent days, leaving the city reeling. A discernible decrease in feels-like temperature was brought about by the light rain, which also increased expectations for additional showers in the days ahead.
Over the next three days, Karachi is expected to see cloudy, pleasant weather with the possibility of light drizzle in the early morning and late at night, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).
