Karachi residents are advised to stay hydrated, avoid unnecessary outdoor activities, and take necessary precautions to stay cool and safe during the hot and humid weather.
Meanwhile, the Met Department has announced the arrival of the city's first monsoon rain. The much-anticipated showers are expected to bring respite from the scorching temperatures that have gripped the city in recent weeks.
The department reported that monsoon winds will enter Karachi from the Bay of Bengal and the Arabian Sea starting June 26. A low-pressure system currently present in Gujarat, India, is set to move towards Pakistan, bringing with it the much-needed rain.
"Citizens can expect light to moderate rain on June 29," said a spokesperson from the department.
