The city endured second consecutive day of extremely hot and humid weather on Saturday, as low wind speeds and increased air humidity created heatwave-like conditions across the metropolis.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department, Karachi recorded a maximum temperature of 37.1 degrees Celsius. However, due to high humidity levels, which peaked at 65 per cent, the weather felt significantly hotter than the actual temperature, especially during the afternoon when extreme mugginess was reported.
The Early Warning Centre forecast suggests that similar hot and humid conditions are expected to persist through Sunday, with temperatures ranging between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius and elevated humidity levels continuing.
However, some relief is expected on Monday, as there is a likelihood of light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunder and lightning.
