Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has said that heavy rainfall is possible in various parts of the country from July 10 (today) until July 16. The monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea will enter the country today, which will be the cause of these rains. According to PMD, there is a possibility of heavy rainfall in Islamabad, Punjab, and Kashmir from today until July 11, whereas rainfall is expected in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan from July 11 to 15. The Met Office has said that from July 12 to 14, there will be rainfall in the districts of Sukkur, Larkana, and Jacobabad in Balochistan and Sindh.

It is reported that light rain is possible today in Sindh’s coastal areas, including Karachi. The highest rainfall of 58 millimeters was recorded in Surjani Town, Karachi, on Tuesday. Due to the rainfall, several flights were canceled in Karachi on Tuesday, while 18 flights were delayed.
