It is strongly recommended to use masks when venturing outdoors to shield against various diseases associated with dust and pollution. Taking precautions during outdoor activities is crucial, given the prevailing air quality conditions.
Wind and Humidity Forecast:
The wind direction from the northeast and humidity levels between 20 to 30 percent indicate ongoing challenges. However, there is a glimmer of hope in the next few hours as expectations rise for an improvement in air quality due to the movement of winds. Wind speeds in the city are anticipated to range from 10 to 15 kilometers per hour.
While Karachi experiences a mix of mild temperatures and air quality concerns, residents are encouraged to stay informed and take necessary precautions. Monitoring updates on the weather and air quality is crucial for a safe and healthy living environment in the city.
