\nThe Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned the Sindh administration, already dealing with the impact of 24-hour long record-shattering rainfall, to brace for another monsoon system entering Sindh on August 23.
\nThe PMD has predicted heavy rainfall in Sindh and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa including Sukkur, Dadu, Larkana, Jacobabad, Malakand, Buner, Mardan, Charsadda, Mohmand, Karam, and Khyber.
\nThe rains might also generate urban flooding on Saturday, August 20, although the weather phenomenon is likely to weaken over the next 12 hours.
\nThe department also advised travelers and tourists to remain cautious as flooding in Indus and its tributaries may occur during the forecast period.
\nLate Friday, Federal Climate Change Minister Sherry Rehman revealed that the province broke its 2011 rainfall record.
\nShe said that Sindh experienced 355mm of rainfall on August 19, shattering the 238mm rainfall record of August 31, 2011. She shared a video depicting a cloudburst over Jamshoro.
\nThe Met department recorded isolated heavy thundershowers in some areas of Sindh on Friday.
\nDuring the last 24 hours, Padidan received the highest amount of rainfall, 240mm, followed by Mohenjo Daro 86mm, and Larkana 81mm.
\nOther areas that received showers include Rohri 63mm, Sukkur 49mm, Khairpur 40mm, Dadu 35mm, Sakrand 20mm, Hyderabad 6mm, Mir Pur Khas 4mm, and Karachi (Gulshan-e-Hadeed 3mm).
