Speaking to Dawn,com, the department's director, Sardar Sarfaraz, said monsoon rains will begin in the province on July 6.
"Before the monsoon, there is also a possibility of dust storms and gusty winds blowing at a speed of between 20-30 nautical miles. The rainfall is likely to continue in intervals until the early hours of the morning on July 8."
He added that the temperature was expected to rise before the rainfall as a result of the sea breeze being cut off. "It can go up to 48 or 49 degrees Celsius."

"Don't stand underneath billboards or trees during the dust storm," he said, adding that there was also a risk of urban flooding in low-lying areas.
