Ask a Karachiite how much they enjoy heavy showers, rain and they wouldn’t stop talking about it. Monday comes off with a bountiful surprise as Karachi experiences the first rain of winter. Not just rain, many parts of the city experienced hailstorm after ages. Last time this city experienced a hailstorm, most of us do not even remember when it happened.

The city of Karachi does not experience rain often, to say the least, and which is why every time it rains, the spirit of Karachiites is unreal. An aura of excitement and glee takes up the whole city and as per tradition, people spend these joyful moments in different ways. Some scramble towards enjoying the weather shenanigans by heading out in the city have delightful rainy day snacks and of course, stuck in massive traffic jams and how can we forget the stagnant water everywhere?
This is what pretty much sums up a day of heavy of rainfall in Karachi – indeed, it can be a pain and pleasure, both. But on Monday, it came off a huge surprise; no one expected rain let alone a hailstorm!
Shortly after it started, the city that never sleeps uplifted with joy over rain and hailstorm
Beautiful <3

Yes, more and more people could have experienced had it happened during the day
I mean if there had to be a hailstorm, couldn't it be during the day, Karachi? So we could see it properly. #weirdweather
