Karachi to experience cooler nights starting Mid-November, predicts PMD

Karachi may soon see cooler nights starting in mid-November, according to multiple weather forecasting platforms.

Currently, the city and lower Sindh are experiencing a heatwave, with daytime temperatures hovering between 38 and 40 degrees Celsius.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department has indicated that a decrease in heat intensity is not anticipated until the end of October. However, starting November 6 or 7, the weather pressure will begin to ease, and by mid-November, daytime temperatures are expected to drop to between 32 and 34 degrees Celsius.

Residents are looking forward to the promised cooler nights, which should provide some relief from the ongoing heat. Unfortunately, hopes for an immediate respite have dimmed, as the department forecasts three more hot days ahead.

Yesterday, Karachi faced a particularly hot day, with humidity levels fluctuating and “feels-like” temperatures reaching around 40 degrees Celsius. Today and tomorrow, temperatures are also expected to peak at 40 and 39 degrees, respectively.

In rural Sindh, areas such as Sajawal, Thatta, Umerkot, Mirpurkhas, and Tharparkar may see temperatures rise as high as 42 degrees Clsius. Fortunately, sea breezes are projected to return in the evenings.

The Early Warning Center has also reported that temperatures in rural districts like Sujawal, Thatta, Umerkot, and Tharparkar will likely range from 37 to 39 degrees, while other areas in the province can expect hot and dry weather.
