Light rain coupled with gusty winds in most parts of Karachi turned the prevailing hot and humid weather pleasant on Thursday.
The intermittent spell of rain, which started since Wednesday night, will continue for next 24 hours, the Pakistan Metrological Department (PMD) said.
It said the rain spell was continuing in upper northern areas, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, Hazara, Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan.
Wednesday brought for Karachiites a respite from the heat as they had great fun while taking 10-minute heavy showers in most parts. Rain emergency has been imposed in the metropolis.
Various parts of Karachi including Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Dalmia, Orangi Town, Banaras, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, Azizabad, Malir, Newtown and Clifton received light rain.
The light rain showers turned many of the city roads slippery and dangerous for motor cyclists with hospitals received several injured in rain-related incidents including motor cyclists.
