The Meteorological Department has forecast a powerful spell of monsoon rain starting from August 27.

The rain which lashed the city five days ago left the roads battered, and water was still standing in many areas.

Many key roads have developed potholes, causing not only traffic congestion but also discomfort for commuters.

Many citizens complain that the potholes have caused back pain and damage to their vehicles, especially the suspension systems.

In areas like Liaquatabad, Golimar, Gulbahar, Nazimabad, Surjani, North Karachi, M A Jinnah Road, and the Old City Area, potholes on major roads and thoroughfares have intensified hardships for the public.

According to the Meteorological Department’s Early Warning Forecast, light rain is likely in Karachi from today till Tuesday.

The city’s weather is expected to remain mostly cloudy on Monday, while Tuesday may see humid conditions.

Elsewhere in Sindh, Tharparkar, Badin, Umerkot, Mirpurkhas, and Sanghar may receive rain with strong winds and thunderstorms at isolated locations.

In Qambar Shahdadkot, Dadu, Larkana, Sukkur, Jacobabad, and Ghotki, moderate to light rain with thunder is expected.

The Guddu Barrage is witnessing a high-level flood, while Sukkur and Kotri barrages are experiencing moderate and normal flows, respectively.
