A low-pressure system that had been brewing over the Arabian Sea has now developed into a tropical depression, sparking concerns across coastal regions of Pakistan. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued warnings for potential heavy rainfall in Karachi and surrounding areas of Sindh and Balochistan. While it is still uncertain whether the system will further intensify into a cyclone, precautionary measures are being urged for fishermen and those residing along the coastline.
Meteorological experts indicate that the tropical depression could lead to a significant increase in rainfall, potentially causing urban flooding in major cities, including Karachi. The PMD is working closely with local authorities to monitor the system and provide timely updates as the situation develops. Wind speeds are also expected to increase, leading to rough sea conditions, which could further disrupt coastal communities.
Officials have stressed the importance of preparedness, especially in the face of climate change, which has made extreme weather events more frequent in Pakistan. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is also coordinating with provincial governments to ensure that safety measures are in place for any potential escalation. Public awareness campaigns are being launched to educate residents on how to stay safe during the approaching storm
