Karachi is expected to experience dry and cool weather over the next 24 hours, with intermittent strong winds, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department.

The minimum temperature in the city on Friday was recorded at 12°C, and it is expected to remain between 10 to 12°C.

The wind speed is recorded at 11 km/h, with a humidity level of 39%.

Yesterday, the Meteorological Department's early warning centre had forecasted strong winds in Karachi.

According to the department, there had been a possibility of occasional strong winds on Friday and Saturday, which were expected to increase the intensity of cold weather.

Other areas of the province, including Larkana, Tharparkar, and Umerkot, had been experiencing extreme cold, with the possibility of fog in the central and northern districts of Sindh, particularly during the night and morning.

The Meteorological Department had reported that a new western weather system entered Pakistan from Balochistan on January 18.

While no rain had been expected in Karachi under this new system, cold winds from behind had affected the city once the system moved towards the northern regions.

Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz had mentioned that Karachi was expected to experience cold and dry winds (cold wave) during the last week of the month due to the new western system.

This had led to an increase in cold intensity due to the dry and slightly stronger-than-usual winds.
