Quetta wind adds chill to city’s weather

KARACHI:

The cool breeze from Quetta once again brought in chill in the weather of the metropolitan city on Tuesday. Sea breeze is expected to partially return from Wednesday evening, as per the weatherman.

The city's temperature dropped on Tuesday morning due to strong winds blowing in from the northeast direction of Balochistan.

According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the minimum temperature was recorded at 13 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 27kmh, and a maximum temperature of 26.7 degrees Celsius.

It was partly cloudy because of a new western system entering Balochistan on Tuesday evening. The PMD predicts that this system eliminates any chance of rain in the city, although there may be drizzle in a few places, including suburban areas. The Early Warning Centre's forecast indicates that the current cold wave in Sindh is expected to subside starting on March 8.

As per the PMD forecast, the next three days in Karachi are expected to be dry, with cold nights. Sea winds are likely to become quite active starting today.
