The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast another humid and overcast day for Karachi on Wednesday, July 16, with a 60 percent chance of light drizzle as weak monsoon currents continue across Sindh.
Conditions are expected to remain mostly cloudy, with morning humidity levels reaching up to 80 percent and temperatures peaking between 33°C to 35°C.
A persistent westerly-southwesterly breeze will offer slight relief, but the heat index could still climb to 41°C.
While Karachi’s forecast suggests modest rainfall, heavier thunderstorms are expected in upper Sindh, including Ghotki and Jacobabad, while Shaheed Benazirabad and Khairpur brace for significant showers. Southern coastal districts such as Thatta and Sujawal may experience isolated drizzle.

City authorities remain on alert. K-Electric has deployed 50 emergency teams across the city, and KMC reports that 85% of Karachi’s major storm drains have been cleared. Traffic police will monitor 22 flood-prone intersections, while emergency control rooms are operational in all six districts.
Hospitals are seeing a 20% spike in heat exhaustion cases, and local pharmacies report increased demand for antihistamines due to humidity-related allergies. Special health advisories have been issued for asthma and respiratory patients.
Chief Meteorologist Dr. Farah Nazeer explained that Karachi’s cloud cover is keeping extreme temperatures at bay but trapping humidity, creating “persistent discomfort likely to continue through the week.”
