In the next 24 hours, Karachiites should brace for more heat and humidity as the weather is expected to stay warm and moist. With October nearly over, you’d hope for a bit of a break from the heat, but it seems like the city is in for another sweaty day, making it difficult to stay cool and comfortable.
The Meteorological Department has noted that Karachi’s minimum temperature recently dropped to around 24.5 degrees Celsius, which might sound a bit cooler but doesn’t bring much relief from the ongoing warm spell. As the day progresses, temperatures are expected to peak somewhere between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius. This range has become the city’s new normal lately, with many residents hoping for cooler evenings, though the humidity isn’t helping much.
Light winds are blowing from the northwest, offering only slight relief, but the high humidity of around 88 percent keeps things sticky and uncomfortable. These northwest winds aren’t strong enough to bring a major shift, but they’re at least keeping the air circulating.
As Karachi’s residents go about their routines, they’ll likely have to continue with the usual hot-weather survival tricks. Staying hydrated, finding shaded areas, and seeking out any available cooling spot has become a daily requirement. Those out on the roads should keep in mind that the intense afternoon temperatures might take a toll on the body, especially with the humidity adding to the heat.
If you’re in Karachi, expect to keep the fans and air conditioners on standby a bit longer as this weather pattern holds.
