The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted that Karachi will continue to experience hot and dry weather over the next three days, delaying the arrival of winter in the city.
According to the Early Warning Centre of the PMD, sea breezes are expected to remain weak or inactive for the next few days, resulting in higher daytime temperatures.
Northwesterly winds from Balochistan during the morning and westerly winds in the evening may push the mercury further up, with the maximum temperature in Karachi likely to exceed 37°C during this period.
The Met Office noted that the city is currently going through a seasonal transition phase, after which cooler winds associated with winter will begin to dominate. Officials added that temperatures are expected to gradually drop in early to mid-November, marking the beginning of the winter season.
Meteorologists said that October is typically among Karachi’s warmer months, following May and June, with daytime temperatures often rising to 37°C and nighttime lows staying between 23°C and 25°C.
