The megalopolis is expected to experience extremely hot weather on Thursday, with temperatures likely to exceed 41 degrees Celsius.
On Wednesday, the city recorded intense heat and humidity, with scorching midday winds creating heatwave-like conditions.
Humidity levels rose to 68 per cent, making it feel about five degrees Celsius warmer than the actual temperature.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department, the maximum temperature recorded in the city was 37.1 degrees Celsius. Due to the high humidity, however, the temperature felt closer to 42 degrees Celsius.
A spokesperson for the Meteorological Department told The Express Tribune that sea breezes have been continuously prevailing in the city.
Nonetheless, the combined effect of rising temperatures, increased humidity (up to 65%), and weak winds is contributing to the ongoing heatwave-like conditions.
According to the forecast issued by the Meteorological Department's Early Warning Centre, Karachi can expect stronger-than-usual winds on Thursday.
However, the weather is likely to remain extremely hot and dry, with the maximum temperature potentially exceeding 41°C.
Meanwhile, light rain is expected in several districts of Sindh, including Ghotki, Kashmore, Shikarpur, Khairpur, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Badin, and Tharparkar.
Despite the chance of rain, most areas of the province are forecast to experience hot to very hot and dry weather accompanied by strong winds.
