Karachi grappled with yet another bout of torrential rain that left streets submerged, power disrupted and traffic paralysed on Tuesday and Wednesday. Residents turned to humour to cope with the deluge.
Social media timelines flooded almost as quickly as the city’s roads, with memes poking fun at submerged cars, traffic jams and the struggle of navigating knee-deep water on the streets.

For many, satire became a survival tool, a way to process yet another monsoon with urban flooding and disruptions to daily life.

Here are some of the memes to watch:
