When will Karachi's hot weather end?

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted that the ongoing heatwave in Karachi will persist for the next 24 hours.

The city is expected to experience hot and dry weather, with clear skies and mildly warm winds during the day.

PMD forecasts that the maximum temperature will reach 38°C, with a minimum of 20°C over the next 24 hours.

The heatwave, which is being driven by a high-pressure system over Rajasthan, India, will continue until Wednesday.

However, temperatures are expected to begin decreasing from Thursday as the pressure system weakens and a high-pressure area forms over the Arabian Sea.

While the high-pressure system is currently located far from Karachi, it may bring strong winds as it moves closer, causing the temperature to drop to around 33-34°C.

On the other hand, Rain-wind/thunderstorm and snow over the hills is likely at isolated places in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, north Balochistan, Potohar region, northeast Punjab, Kashmir and, Gilgit-Baltistan during the next twelve hours.

Partly cloudy weather is likely elsewhere in the country.

Temperature of major cities recorded this morning:

Islamabad 14°C, Lahore 19°C, Peshawar 15°C, Quetta 17°C, Gilgit 9°C, Murree 5°C and Muzaffarabad 10°C.
