Karachi Thursday woke up to a cloudy morning, giving rise to the anticipation of the first winter rain in the metropolis in the coming days.<\/p>\n
However, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) ruled out any chances of showers in Karachi for the next few days despite a thick mass of clouds over the coastal metropolis.
\nPMD Director Sardar Sarfaraz said that there is no chance of rain in the city for two weeks in January 2023. However, partly cloudy weather with light rain\/drizzle is expected in the upper parts of Sindh today.<\/p>\n
The Met official added that the sea breeze will blow during the day. During the next 24 hours, he said, dry and cold weather is expected in the metropolis.
\nAccording to the latest PMD advisory, a shallow trough of a westerly wave is affecting western parts of the country which gripped the country from Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
\u201cRain-thunderstorm (snow over the mountains) is expected in the north and western Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, upper Punjab, Kashmir, and Gilgit Baltistan,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
The PMD added that foggy conditions are likely to subside over the plain areas of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and upper Sindh.<\/p>\n
