Thundershowers in Karachi provide respite from heat

Karachi (HRNW) Karachi received heavy thundershowers Wednesday soon after dark clouds overcast the sky.

The long-awaited rain provided respite for citizens who have experienced high temperatures in June.

As always some of them also feared urban flooding or at least rainwater pooling on the roads.

The Met Office, however, has forecast that the rain was to last only for two hours and the torrential downpour was not expected.

Karachi is one of the last cities to receive rain this season. Several other cities in Karachi have experienced pre-monsoon rains before the monsoon system entered the country this week.

The temperature in Islamabad dropped to 18 degrees Celsius Wednesday morning — an unusual weather condition in the city where mercury usually goes as high as 44 degrees in June.
