The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) on Saturday predicted more rain and thunderstorms in Karachi under the influence of a western weather system, after early morning showers dampened Eid ul Fitr celebrations.
Rain, accompanied by thunder and lightning, lashed several parts of the city early on the first day of Eid ul Fitr. The downpour, which intensified at intervals, turned the festive morning into a wet and chaotic affair, forcing many citizens to alter their plans as movement became difficult in several areas.
Rainfall was reported in multiple localities, including Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Liaquatabad, Federal B Area and PIB Colony, where heavy showers continued with thunderstorms. Gulshan-e-Hadeed also witnessed rain with thunder and lightning, while strong winds were recorded in several parts of the city.
