Karachi weather update: PMD says city to experience cold wave next week

The minimum temperature could dip to 17°C: PMD

Karachi has begun to feel the chill as temperatures have dropped significantly, with the minimum temperature falling by 17°C on Sunday morning.

According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department’s Early Warning Center, the weather in Karachi is expected to remain moderate today. However, starting tomorrow, the city will be affected by cool winds from the Balochistan region, bringing cooler nights and moderate temperatures.

The forecast suggests that by Tuesday, Karachi may experience stronger-than-usual winds, leading to a further drop in temperatures. During this period, the minimum temperature could dip to 17°C, with the maximum temperature ranging from 29°C to 31°C.

The cooler temperatures and moderate winds are expected to continue for the next few days, providing respite from the warmer conditions.

Meteorological experts have also predicted that in the next 24 hours, northern Balochistan, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Kashmir, and the Pothohar region may experience strong winds, thunderstorms, and possible snowfall in the higher altitudes.

As Karachi experiences this gradual shift towards colder weather, residents can expect an overall drop in temperature, especially at night, making it the start of the city's winter season.
