Karachi residents may experience wet weather on Eid as the Meteorological Department forecasts rain and thunderstorms in the city.
The alert comes amid ongoing weather changes driven by westerly winds. Authorities have also warned of possible lightning during storm activity.
The Met Department has predicted that Karachi could receive rain accompanied by thunderstorms on Eid. The weather system influencing the city is expected to persist, increasing the likelihood of scattered showers at various locations.
This development means that festive plans may be affected, especially in outdoor settings, as unstable weather conditions continue.
Westerly winds influencing city weather
According to officials, westerly winds are currently affecting most parts of Karachi. These winds are a key factor behind the shifting weather pattern, bringing cloud cover and increasing chances of rainfall.
The same system is expected to remain active through the coming days, sustaining the possibility of rain and gusty conditions.
Thunderstorms, strong winds expected
The department has also warned that rain may be accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds. Such conditions could lead to sudden weather changes, including brief but intense downpours.
Residents are advised to remain cautious, especially during periods of storm activity.

The temperature is likely to stay between 27°C and 29°C, offering relatively mild conditions compared to typical summer heat, but with increased humidity due to cloud cover and rainfall.
What this means for residents
With rain predicted during Eid and surrounding days, residents may need to adjust travel and celebration plans. Wet roads, gusty winds, and lightning risks could impact daily routines.
However, the cooler temperatures may provide some relief from the usual heat, making the weather a mix of caution and comfort.
