Karachi to experience warmer weather
The weather in Karachi has been hot due to strong sunlight and low wind speeds, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department.
The Met Office said mild heatwave-like conditions have begun, and warm weather will continue for the next three days. The temperature may rise above 38°C by Sunday, today.
Today, the maximum temperature is expected to be around 36°C, while on Saturday it reached 37°C.
In the morning, winds are likely to blow from the northeast of Balochistan, and the usual sea breeze from the southwest may stay inactive for some time.
The department added that a full heatwave is not expected because humidity levels are moderate and the sea breeze disruption will be temporary.
