Sardar Sarfaraz of the Meteorological Department said, “You must have noticed that the weather was fine till 11 AM. It changed later when warm dry winds took over and blocked the sea breeze, which had been keeping the city’s weather pleasant for over a week”.
He explained that the hot continental winds were basically the after-effect of the departing western disturbance that had resulted in rain and hailstorms in the upper parts of Pakistan.
