KARACHI: A robust monsoon system approaching from the Kuch and Tharparkar regions is expected to reach Karachi and Hyderabad today, prompting warnings for residents along the coastal belt. Heavy rain, accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorms, is anticipated in Karachi, Hyderabad, and surrounding districts on Thursday afternoon.
