KARACHI: The Met department on Sunday predicted that the port city would receive light to moderate showers under the influence of a new weather system.

The prevailing weather system could cause showers in Sindh’s cities, including Tharparkar, Umerkot, Badin, Mirpur, Tando Muhammad Khan, Sujawal and Thatta.

Hot and humid weather was expected to prevail in most parts of Karachi during the next three days, the PMD had said earlier, adding that the port city is likely to receive heavy rains coupled with lightning on September 13.
