KARACHI: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast partly cloudy and humid weather for Karachi over the next 24 hours, with a possibility of light drizzle in some areas.
The maximum temperature is expected to range between 32 and 34 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature recorded today was 29°C. Humidity in the air stands at 79%, and sea breezes are blowing at a speed of 11 kilometers per hour.
Whereas, a new monsoon system is expected to affect Sindh around July 5 or 6, potentially bringing more significant rainfall, the PMD spokesperson warned last week.
Although the residents of Karachi have welcomed much-needed showers after days of scorching heat, the recent rains as part of the ongoing monsoon spell have resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries in the port city.
On the other hand, rain-wind coupled with thundershower is expected at isolated places in Kashmir, north-east Punjab, Potohar region, Islamabad and upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the next 12 hours, Radio Pakistan reported.
However, isolated downpours are likely in many areas during morning hours. While, hot and humid weather is expected in other parts of the country.
Temperature of major cities recorded this morning are: Islamabad, Peshawar and Gilgit 27 °C, Lahore 28°C, Karachi 30°C, Quetta 25°C, Murree 17°C and Muzaffarabad 23°C.
