In a remarkable twist of weather events, Karachi, the bustling coastal metropolis in southern Pakistan, finds itself under the spell of a meteorological wonder that has not only left residents in awe but also captured the attention of climate scientists worldwide.
Karachi Heatwave Sizzles at 36°C:
Karachi, known for its diverse weather patterns, is currently experiencing an extraordinary heatwave, with temperatures soaring to an astonishing 36°C today. While Karachi is no stranger to warm and humid conditions, such scorching heat in early November is an unusual occurrence. The current temperature stands at a sweltering 28°C, and although there’s a mix of clouds and sun, it provides little relief to the city’s residents.
The RealFeel® temperature closely matches the actual reading at 28°C, but in the shade, the RealFeel ShadeTM temperature drops slightly to 27°C, offering a minor respite from the intense heat.
Daytime Forecast:
The day’s forecast predicts a high of 36°C and a RealFeel® temperature of 37°C, transforming the city into an oven. Abundant sunshine prevails, with a moderate UV index of 5, necessitating sun protection.
A gentle wind from the WSW at 7 km/h offers some relief, but occasional gusts of up to 32 km/h may stir things up. Fortunately, the likelihood of precipitation is only 1%, and thunderstorms are not in the forecast. Expect a scant 4% cloud cover during the day.
Nighttime Conditions:
As the sun dips below the horizon, Karachi can finally breathe easier, with temperatures cooling down to a low of 22°C. The RealFeel® temperature drops to 21°C, and a gentle breeze from the WNW at 7 km/h will provide some comfort. The chances of precipitation remain minimal at 1%, promising a clear and pleasant night.
This extraordinary meteorological phenomenon in Karachi has certainly caught the world’s attention, reminding us of the ever-surprising nature of our planet’s climate. Stay safe, stay hydrated, and make the most of this unique weather experience!
