Monsoon spell weakens as the city gets 58mm rain
The weather system that dumped 58.2 millimetres of rainfall to the city in a single day has now weakened. As a result, the possibility of heavy downpours accompanied by thunder and lightning has ended, and only light rain or drizzle is expected in the coming days.
Over the past three days, the monsoon spell delivered between 6.3 and 58.2 millimetres of rainfall before tapering off. According to the Early Warning Centre, there is currently no chance of further heavy rain with thunder and lightning in the city. However, due to the lingering effects of the monsoon system, the sky is expected to remain partly cloudy over the next few days, with occasional light rain or drizzle, while maximum temperatures are expected to range between 33 and 34 degrees Celsius.
According to the Meteorological Depart-ment, another monsoon system is likely to enter the country and may affect Karachi with rainfall beginning around July 5. The intensity of this upcoming system will become clearer over the next few days.

Wimbledon ‘ready' for soaring temperatures
LONDON: Wimbledon chief executive Sally Bolton said the Grand Slam was not used to baking summer temperatures but 'we're absolutely ready for it' as the mercury soared in London on Monday. Temperatures on the first day of the Championships are expected to climb to at least 33 degrees Celsius (91 degrees Fahrenheit). Wimbledon has a heat rule that it is ready to activate to safeguard the health of the players. It is based on a heat stress index that takes into account a number of factors including air temperature, humidity and the surface temperature. 'The obvious point to make is that the athletes compete in temperatures like this all year on the tour so for us Brits here at the championships it feels very hot,' said Bolton. 'We do have the heat rule available to us which again is well used on the tour so we will be taking heat stress monitor readings.' Heat stress monitor readings are taken 30 minutes before the start of play and then at 1400 (1300 GMT) and 1700. The heat rule allows a 10-minute break to be taken between the second and third sets for women's matches and between the third and fourth sets for men's matches matches, when the heat stress index is at or above 30.1 degrees Celsius. 'It's a well-tested rule but I appreciate not here at the Championships so often,' said Bolton. 'But we've got that ready to put in place'. Djokovic still hunts milestones with 20th Wimbledon looming The chief executive of the All England Club said there were also protocols in place to look after ball-boys and ball-girls on court, who have access to cooling scarves. Bolton urged fans to keep an eye on those around them. 'We've got a really significantly sized medical team here so we've got people here to help if that's needed. 'We're not used to these sort of temperatures but we're absolutely ready for it and actually delighted that it's sunny and not wet like it was last year.'

Fires break out and most of France put on heatwave alert
ORLÉANS, (France): French firefighters were mobilised to tackle early summer fires as 84 of the country's 101 administrative areas were put on a heatwave alert for Monday until midweek. Wildfires broke out in the Corbieres area of Aude in the southwest, where temperatures topped 40 degrees, forcing the evacuation of a campsite and abbey as a precaution. The south of the country saw highs of more than 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) Sunday, with temperatures between 35 and 38C (95-100F) across the region, national weather service Meteo-France said. It reported 40.9C (105 F) in the small town of Grospierres in southeastern France, 40.1C in the village of Vinsobres in the southeast, and 39.9C in the town of Cadenet, also in the southeast. The crushing temperatures which began in the south of the country on Friday will have spread to nearly all of France by Monday, with highs of 37 to 40 degrees Celsius forecast along the Mediterranean. The number of departments under orange alert — the second-highest level — will rise to 84 on Monday, with temperatures expected to peak Tuesday and Wednesday, bringing highs of up to 41C (105.8F). An interministerial crisis meeting on the heatwave was convened Sunday evening to review all the guidelines, particularly concerning health, Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau told BFMTV.
