This season’s monsoon rains in Karachi broke all prior records, with the province capital reaching the 1,000 mm threshold for the first time ever.
Bahria Town has so far accumulated 1,048 mm of annual rainfall, according to Pak Weather, the largest private automated meteorological station network and weather source in the nation.
Following Bahria Town in terms of yearly rainfall are Gulshan-e-Hadeed (954 mm), Kemari (936 mm), and PAF’s Masroor Airbase (805 mm) breaking all previous records.
According to data from Karachi’s monsoon rainfalls this year, Pak Weather forecasted last month that the provincial capital would surpass 1,000 mm for the first time ever this year.
In addition, after experiencing one of the wettest Julys in three decades, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) also forewarned of additional torrential rains in Karachi this September.
This year, strong monsoon rains caused floods that wreaked havoc across Sindh, Balochistan, South Punjab, and other areas of the country.
Over 15% of the entire population has been displaced by the floods, which have submerged half of the nation’s territory.
Over 12,000 individuals have been hurt, and nearly 1,400 people have passed away. The economic damages, though, have topped $18 billion.
