Arabian Sea Depression Moves Closer to Karachi, PMD Warns 14 oct 24

On October 14, 2024, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) reported that a depression in the Arabian Sea was approximately 1060 km southwest of Karachi. The weather system is expected to bring moderate rainfall to parts of Sindh and Balochistan, with authorities closely monitoring the situation to mitigate any potential impacts.

While the PMD has advised fishermen to avoid venturing into deep waters, it reassured the public that the depression is unlikely to develop into a severe cyclone. However, Karachi has already experienced light rain, and more coastal areas are expected to receive showers in the coming days.

The PMD and disaster management agencies are on high alert, ready to respond to any adverse developments. Local authorities are particularly concerned about potential urban flooding in low-lying areas, especially given Karachi’s history of drainage issues during heavy rainfall​
