1200 mm is 47 inches and you know that is more than the rain for a year in Seattle. It would mean 4 ft. water for every inch which would translate into 10-12 ft. water on streets. You should have taken some maths courses but it’s never too late.

Oh yes, that is mm. Thank you for correction. Ok, make it 1200mm in a week. In this week, I mean. INSHALLAH.

Sorry for a typo, the rain is measured in Millimeter "mm" not Milliliter "ml". I blame Hamza for distracting me :-). Or unless the Pakistan have have devised some new way to measure in ml.

Hamza, 500 ml in a week ? 500 ml would be 19.68 inches which would definitely sink all Karachi for 2 weeks.

So you’ve been roaming around on the streets of Karachi. Well done. After all, rains only fall for maybe 12 days per year in total. We hope it falls with relish. Maybe 500ml of it in a week.
