KARACHI: Parts of the metropolis received traces of rain or drizzle on Monday.

An official of the Pakistan Meteorological Department said that the amount of rainfall was so little that it could not be measured.

He forecast more rain for Karachi on Tuesday.

The Met official said that the minimum and maximum temperature in the city on Monday was 27 and 39 degrees Celsius, respectively. Humidity, or a measure of the amount of moisture in the air, was 56 per cent.

The city weather is expected to remain partly cloudy with chances of rains/thundershowers on Tuesday and the maximum temperature will remain between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius.

He said that a well-marked low pressure area was located over eastern India (southeastern Madhya Pradesh) and was likely to move northwest during the next two days. He added that under the influence of this system a strong monsoon current would start to come into Pakistan and that could result in rains in Sindh.
