Karachi is expected to witness relatively mild weather during the holy month of Ramadan, which is likely to begin on February 19, subject to moon sighting.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecast cooler nights and pleasant mornings in the city during the first two weeks of Ramadan. In the latter half of the month, daytime temperatures are expected to rise slightly.
Deputy Director Anjum Nazir Zaigham said daytime temperatures in Karachi will likely range between 32°C and 34°C, while nighttime temperatures may remain between 19°C and 21°C.
A system of westerly winds in the early days of Ramadan could bring light drizzle to parts of the city. Other areas of Sindh and Punjab may also receive rain and thunderstorms during the initial days of the month.
The Met Office has predicted clear to partly cloudy skies across most parts of the country on the evening of February 18, improving the chances of moon sighting.
According to astronomical data, the new moon will be born on February 17 at 5:01 pm. Experts say the crescent is likely to be visible on the 29th of Shaaban 1447 AH.
