Karachi is in for a chilly start to the week as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) predicts a sharp temperature drop on Sunday and Monday, December 29 and 30. The city’s minimum temperature is expected to hit around 8 degrees Celsius on both days, making for a cold wave that has Karachiites reaching for their warmest clothes.
This cold snap is part of a broader trend affecting Sindh, with many districts experiencing a significant dip in night temperatures, ranging from 3 to 5 degrees. The PMD has also noted the presence of easterly and northeasterly winds, which are contributing to the dry and cold conditions across the region. Morning fog is also on the cards for the upper and central districts, adding a layer of chill to the early hours.
Karachi just had its coldest night of the year, with the city’s main weather station recording a low of 8.5 degrees Celsius. Over in Gulistan-e-Jauhar, it was even colder, hitting 6.5 degrees. As residents brace for the colder days ahead, the city is likely to see more of these chilly temperatures, reminding everyone to stay bundled up.
So, as Karachi faces this cold wave temperature drop, it’s clear that winter has truly arrived, bringing with it a reminder of the season’s brisk and bracing nature. Stay warm, Karachi!
