Residents of Karachi are in for another hot and dry day as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted the temperature to soar up to 39°C on Sunday [Today].
According to the PMD, sea breezes – which normally help shape Karachi’s temperature – are expected to remain cut off throughout the day.
As a result, the city will experience intense sunshine along with hot and dry winds, adding to the discomfort of citizens.
The Met Office further stated that weather conditions are expected to improve slightly by evening when sea breezes may begin to return, offering some relief from the heat.
