Sporadic rains hit parts of Karachi despite the cyclonic storm — Asna — in the Arabian Sea moved further westward from the Sindh coast during the past six hours.
The areas which received moderate to heavy rains include Gurumandir, Numaish, Lasbela, Soldier Bazaar, Tariq Road, I I Chundrigar Road and its adjoining areas.
In its alert issued at 3:25pm today, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) predicted rain-thundershowers with few heavy falls clubbed with squally winds in Karachi and other parts of Sindh.
The current weather conditions are impacts of the cyclonic storm which lies at a distance of about 300km southwest of Karachi, 230km south-southwest of Ormara and 300km southeast of Gwadar.
It also anticipated that the system is expected to track further west-southwestwards and posed no threat of making landfall on any coast.
