An unexpected monsoon spell in Karachi launched a very expected meme reaction on Twitter

An unexpected monsoon spell in Karachi launched a very expected meme reaction on Twitter

The pleasant weather had netizens rejoicing and also preparing for inevitable power outages and flooded roads.
23 Jun, 2022

It's a tale as old as time — every summer, Karachiites pray for some respite from the heat in the form of rain and then curse the consequences of getting what they asked for. It's that time of the year again and netizens are making the best out of the first spell of Karachi rain.

Contradicting all weather forecasts, the clouds decided to give in on Wednesday and gifted the metropolitan city a pre-monsoon downpour. The rain interrupted the hot, humid and frankly suffocating weather and made it much cooler outside.

From celebrating the rain to posting memes about the inevitable flooding of Karachi roads, Pakistani Twitter has made sure to give the cloudburst a warm welcome and the utmost attention, elevating it amongst the trends of the day.

It is what it is.

A wait that's worth it though.

The stages of Karachi rain.

Of course, how could we forget the inverse relation between rain and electricity?

The only greys we want in life.

A drive in the rain is all we need — as long as there's no traffic or water on the roads, obviously.

To all the people whose first instinct is to post the rain to your story.

True that.

A more realistic picture.

How do you spend your rainy days?

Yesterday's evening rain was just to break the heat. The met department have said that monsoon season in Karachi will start between 2nd or 3rd of July. Eid-ul-Azha is also around the corner. Let's see how people will celebrate Eid-ul-Azha during the rainy season.

Perhaps people of Karachi should consult the world famous scientist, Bilawal Bhutto about what happens when it rains.

I like to hear all the excuses from Bilawal and Dad Zardari, it’s going on almost 14 years, after just one good rain, the issues of flooding, people getting electrocuted remain, clean drinking water issue remain. I’m sure Bilawal will do (Nothing) to fix the issues of the people of Karachi and Sindh.

@Hasnain Haque When you eject the same family every year, then you should expect the same results. Closing your eyes does not make it night time.
