The Met Department has issued a second alert regarding the formation of a low-pressure system over the central Arabian Sea.
While the system has intensified since the last update, the department reassures that there is no immediate threat to Pakistan's coastal regions.
According to the alert, the low-pressure area is currently located around 900 kilometres south of Karachi. Meteorologists are monitoring the system closely, as they say it has the potential to develop into a depression within the next one to two days. However, as of now, there is no risk to any coastal area of Pakistan.
In the event that the system strengthens into a cyclone, it will be named "Dana", a term suggested by Qatar, which means a "precious and beautiful pearl" in Arabic.
The Meteorological Department continues to monitor the situation and will provide further updates if the system progresses toward a more severe form.
A day ago, the Met office had predicted that Karachi is bracing for a mud storm followed by light drizzle. The sudden change in weather is expected to bring gusty winds, reducing visibility and creating difficult conditions on the roads.
While the drizzle will offer temporary relief from the heat, citizens are advised to take necessary precautions and limit outdoor activities during the storm.
Mainly dry weather is expected in most parts of the country. However, cool weather is expected in hilly areas at night. Continental air is prevailing over most parts of the country.
