The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted cool and sunny weather for Karachi over the weekend and the coming days.

The lowestt temperatures in the metropolis are expected to range between 8°C and 10°C, with relative humidity fluctuating between 35% and 55%, providing pleasant conditions for outdoor activities.

The forecast shows clear skies and no signs of rain. These conditions will persist through Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, making it an ideal time for residents to enjoy Karachi’s winter charm.

Other districts in Sindh, including Thatta, Badin, and Hyderabad, will also experience similar weather, with minimum temperatures ranging from 8°C to 12°C. Dadu and Sukkur are expected to record some of the lowest temperatures, dipping to 4°C, accompanied by relatively high humidity levels of up to 95%.

PMD experts attribute the cooler conditions to prevailing dry continental air, which has reduced cloud cover and intensified winter’s grip across the province.

The ongoing cold wave in Karachi is expected to intensify in the second week of January 2025, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).

Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz told a local news channel on Wednesday that temperatures in the city may drop further in January.
