According to the Meteorological department, the system of strong winds and rains would head towards the northern part of the country on Tuesday [today]. The unusual weather system entered the country from Iran on Saturday and affected a few districts of Balochistan, while also covering cities of Sindh. Between the night of Sunday and Monday, the strong winds, which battered the city for several hours, seriously affected visibility, bringing it down from six kilometers to just half-a-kilometer. Several cars parked in the Sindh High Court premises were damaged as trees fell on them while a rickshaw was completely destroyed after a tree fell on it in Gulistan- e-Jauhar. On Tuesday (today), Karachi and its surrounding areas are likely to witness rain accompanied by strong winds.
