How much rain will Karachi get?
The chief meteorologist said that Karachi will probably get between 100mm and 150mm of rain over the next four to five days.
Jawad Memon, a weather analyst, said that the low-pressure system that is moving through the central and southern parts of the country has turned into a depression and is likely to bring heavy rain to the port city between August 11 and 14.
