Karachi is set to experience hot and humid conditions over the next three days, with temperatures possibly surpassing 35°C, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).

On Thursday, the city's weather was recorded as hot and humid, with the maximum temperature reaching 34.5°C—an increase of 1.5°C from the previous day. The day saw low-speed sea breezes and mostly sunny skies.

The PMD has forecast similar weather for the coming days, with humidity levels expected to rise between 55% and 65%, making the temperature feel even hotter than it actually is.

Despite the sweltering conditions, there is currently no expectation of rain in the city.

The increased humidity could cause discomfort, as the higher moisture in the air will amplify the perceived heat, making it feel significantly warmer than the actual recorded temperature.
