KARACHI: Residents of Karachi must brace themselves for a shift in the weather as the Pakistan Meteorology Department (PMD) warned of warmer days ahead.

The PMD on Wednesday recorded a minimum temperature of 28°C in the metropolis and expects the maximum temperature in the city to range from 32°C to 34°C.

With 75% humidity in the air and westward winds blowing at 18 kilometres per hour, Karachi's weather is currently a blend of partial cloud cover and sunshine.

Meteorologist Anjum Nazir warned that temperatures in Karachi are expected to rise in coming days, likely reaching 32°C to 34°C.

"There may be drizzle and light rain in early morning and at night for the next few days and sea breezes will continue in the city," Nazir said.

Additionally, he highlighted the looming threat of yet another monsoon system that could impact Sindh from August 26, potentially bringing rainfall to Karachi from August 27.

"The intensity of rainfall from this system can be predicted in the coming days," he said, adding that Sindh may be affected by "two to three monsoon systems" by the end of September.

Furthermore, according to the Met Office, mainly dry weather is likely to prevail over most parts of the province with isolated light rain and drizzle expected in Dadu, Kambar Shahdadkot, Larkana, Naushahro Feroze, Sanghar districts and along the coast today.
