Sindh recorded the country'slargest rainfall deficitduring the 2026 monsoon season, receiving 50.8 per cent less rain than normal between July and September,. Karachi faced an even greater shortfall, with rainfall 92 per cent below normal during the period.

The department attributed the below-normal monsoon activity partly to the El Niño weather pattern, which can influence rainfall distribution across South Asia. Karachi also experienced itsweakest monsoonin nearly three decades this year, with the likelihood of significant rainfall remaining low towards the end of the season.

A report published by The Express Tribune on August 31 said prospects of substantial showers in September had diminished, with the city relying largely on the development of a low-pressure system over the Arabian Sea for meaningful rainfall.
