The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a cold forecast in Karachi, warning residents about falling temperatures, dry conditions, and increasing chill expected across the city during coming days.
Officials reported the city’s minimum temperature was recorded at 14.5 degrees Celsius, while overall weather remains cold and dry, especially during night and early morning hours.
According to forecasters, daytime temperatures may range between 28 and 30 degrees Celsius, offering mild afternoons despite colder nights continuing to affect residents comfort levels.
Humidity levels in Karachi are currently high at nearly 89 percent, contributing to morning chill, occasional fog formation, and a stronger perception of cold across neighborhoods.
Northeasterly winds are blowing at approximately three kilometers per hour, meteorologists said, a factor expected to maintain dry weather while gradually increasing cold intensity citywide.
Experts warned that the intensity of cold is likely to increase further next week, urging citizens to take precautions during nighttime and early morning travel.
Meanwhile, the National Disaster Management Authority issued a weather advisory, forecasting rain and snowfall in northern regions from today until December eighteen across multiple areas.
According to NDMA, Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kohistan, Gilgit Baltistan, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir may experience rain, snowfall, and deteriorating weather conditions during coming days.
Authorities warned of possible heavy snowfall in mountainous areas, including Upper Gilgit Baltistan and Kohistan, which could disrupt daily life and emergency services significantly regionally.
Light rain is expected in Quetta, Ziarat, and northwestern Balochistan, while snowfall may occur in hilly areas, increasing travel risks for residents, tourists, and transporters.
NDMA advised tourists and travelers to avoid unnecessary journeys to upper regions, as slippery roads and reduced visibility may affect traffic flow severely during snowfall.
Officials said close monitoring will continue nationwide, while the cold forecast in Karachi highlights broader winter patterns affecting multiple regions simultaneously across Pakistan this season.
