Karachi: The Department of Meteorology of Pakistan (PMD) said Wednesday that the meteorological system that brought days of heavy rain to Karachi has now moved away from the city, discarding the possibilities of another intense attachments spell.
Depression on the North Sea of Arabia changed west in the last six hours and is currently about 110 kilometers to the East of Pasni, after having left Karachi. The system is expected to weaken in a well -marked low pressure area in the next 12 hours.
The department predicted partially cloudy and humid conditions for Karachi on Thursday, with only light or drizzle rain probably in some areas. Temperatures are expected to remain between 29 ° C and 31 ° C, with high moisture in the morning decreasing slightly at night.
Meanwhile, the department of MET has warned about the increase in water levels in the Indo River. GUDDU is expected to reach very high flood levels in the next 24 hours, while Sukkur experiences high levels of flood after 24 hours.
The Friday’s forecast suggests a partially cloudy and humid climate, with maximum temperatures that increase to around 30-32 ° C.
The downpours have flooded several low areas at present, since the metropolis endured a third consecutive day of heavy monsoon rains, with overflowing rivers and rescue equipment that change hundreds of residents to a safe place.
While the water was drained from Shahrah-E-Fafaisal, the main arteries, the M-9 highway and the Lyari highway, now reopened to traffic, several locations remained underwater. A highway police spokesman confirmed that both the highway and the highway were free of stagnant water.
At least four people drowned in the Gadap River during the downpours, and two bodies, including that of a woman, have been recovered so far.
The Lyari and Malir rivers, however, swelled dangerously, flooding the Saadi Garden and the city of Saadi, where lanes, neighborhoods and vehicles were submerged.
The elevator of the Malir also brought water to the Korangi road. In Federal B and the Shafi neighborhood, the water that had entered houses from the Lyari River began to go back.
Rescue teams 1122, PDMA and the Pakistan army carried out night operations, evacuating more than 350 people in flooded areas. In Gadap, another body was recovered from the river, taking the count to two recovered from four who drowned, including a woman.
