KARACHI: As Pakistan enters the first week of Ramadan, weather analyst Jawad Memon has forecasted a noticeable drop in temperatures for the coastal areas of Sindh and Balochistan, including Karachi.

Residents of the port city can expect nighttime temperatures to decline by two or three degrees Celsius over the next two to three days.

In Karachi, the nighttime temperatures are expected to range between 13°C and 16°C. Meanwhile, central Sindh will likely experience cooler nights, with temperatures ranging between 10°C and 12°C, Memon revealed.

Suburban areas of Karachi, including Surjani Town, Scheme 33, and Steel Town, can also expect similar lows of 10°C to 12°C, while neighbourhoods such as Federal B Area, Orangi Town, and Gulshan-e-Iqbal may see temperatures ranging from 12°C to 15°C.

Furthermore, the weather analyst indicated that winter has officially ended in the coastal areas of Sindh and Balochistan, including Karachi, as he said that these regions will experience a stable temperature range of 17°C to 20°C.

Notably, temperatures are expected to rise from March 6, with daytime highs likely to range between 35°C and 37°C, while nighttime temperatures are expected to range from 22°C to 25°C, he said.

On the other hand, northern and upper areas of the country may experience a brief cold wave, accompanied with cold winds, lasting three to four days as a result of the recent snowfall in the regions.
