August 30
The Karachi administration has announced that all public and private schools will remain closed on Friday, August 30, due to anticipated heavy rainfall linked to a potential cyclone developing over the Rann of Kutch in India.
This cyclone is expected to move towards the Sindh coast either late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
The decision to close educational institutions was taken by the district administration in response to the severe weather conditions affecting the city.
The potential cyclone, combined with ongoing rain, has led the authorities to take precautionary measures to ensure the safety of students and staff.
Parents and students are advised to be aware of this closure and to adjust their plans accordingly.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecasted that the rainfall will persist until August 31, raising concerns about continued adverse weather conditions.
In addition to the heavy rain, there are warnings of possible flash floods in two districts of Sindh.
These areas are still grappling with the aftermath of the catastrophic floods of 2022, which caused extensive damage across the country and had a significant impact on the national economy.
The Karachi administration is taking these steps to prevent any disruption to students’ safety and to manage the impact of the severe weather.
The closure of schools is part of a broader effort to mitigate the effects of the expected cyclone and to ensure that emergency services can effectively respond to any potential issues arising from the heavy rainfall and flooding.
The public is urged to stay updated with the latest weather advisories and to follow any additional instructions provided by local authorities to stay safe during this period of adverse weather.
