PMD Predicts Thunderstorms and Windstorms for Multiple Sindh Districts Starting Tuesday Night

Detailed Report

  • The Regional Forecast: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a localized weather alert for Tuesday, June 2, predicting a shift in atmospheric conditions across central and upper Sindh. While the coastal capital of Karachi continues to grapple with a persistent hot and humid cycle, inland regions are expected to see a break in the thermal baseline due to incoming westerly winds.

  • M-9 Motorway Advisory: The PMD specifically highlighted that areas surrounding the M-9 Motorway (Karachi-Hyderabad track) are likely to experience strong dust storms and high-velocity winds late Tuesday night. Commuters and transporters are advised to exercise caution due to potential visibility drops during the night hours.

District-Specific Activity: The weather system is expected to trigger a combination of dust storms and light to moderate rainfall in several key districts. Residents in the following areas should prepare for sudden wind gusts:

  • Khairpur

  • Sanghar

  • Nawabshah (Shaheed Benazirabad)

  • Naushahro Feroze

  • The Karachi Outlook: In contrast to the storm activity predicted for the interior, Karachi is expected to remain under a heavy humidity envelope. While sea breezes will provide some circulation, the "real-feel" temperature will remain high, and no significant rainfall is currently projected for the metropolitan city over the next 24 hours.
