As the next twelve hours unfold, a blanket of cold and dry weather is set to envelop most plain areas of Pakistan. The Meteorological Office’s forecast paints a picture of continental air prevailing over the nation, promising dry and exceptionally cold conditions nationwide.
The latest advisories assure Karachiites of a rain-free day ahead. However, residents in Jacobabad, Mohenjodaro, Sukkur, Larkana, Dadu, Ghotki, and Padidan should brace for persistent fog and smog during morning and night hours.
Today’s temperature in Karachi is expected to fluctuate between a cool 15°C and a mild 28°C. Gentle winds at 3 km/h and a Max UV Index of 3 (considered normal) mark the weather conditions. However, with an air quality index soaring over 115, health experts caution that the air is currently deemed “Unhealthy.” Sensitive groups may feel immediate health effects, and even healthy individuals are advised to limit outdoor activities due to potential breathing difficulties and throat irritation.
Across the country, predominantly dry weather is anticipated. Northern regions and northern Balochistan, however, are bracing for a bone-chilling cold spell. Meanwhile, dense fog and smog are likely to persist in the plain areas of Punjab, contributing to reduced visibility.
