Karachi is currently experiencing strong winds and a prolonged cold wave, as a high-pressure system affects much of Pakistan, according to Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), winds in the city are expected to reach speeds of 15 to 20 kilometers per hour, with gusts in the northeastern areas possibly exceeding 25 kilometers per hour.
However, Sarfaraz – the Chief PMD, clarified that dust storm-like conditions are not expected.
The cold wave has caused temperatures to drop significantly, with the mercury expected to fall into single digits across Karachi.
This unusually cold spell is expected to continue in the coming days, bringing a stretch of cooler-than-usual weather across the region.
