The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has provided an update on the weather conditions in Karachi:
Current Weather Situation:
- **Temperature**: The minimum temperature recorded today was 30.5°C. The maximum temperature is expected to range between 34°C to 36°C.
- **Humidity**: The humidity level in the air is high at 73%.
- **Winds**: Sea winds are blowing at a speed of 21 kilometers per hour.
Weather Forecast:
- **Hot and Humid Conditions**: Karachi will continue to experience hot and humid weather in the next 24 hours.
- **Chance of Drizzling**: Despite the hot weather, there is a chance of drizzling at night, providing some relief to residents.
- **Monsoon Outlook**: Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz earlier predicted that Karachi may witness rain after July 8. This follows the PMD's forecast of "vigorous monsoon activity" in upper and central parts of Pakistan, fueled by strong monsoon currents from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal.
Residents of Karachi, enduring sweltering temperatures, are hopeful for relief with the anticipated rainfall, although recent drizzles have been insufficient to break the ongoing heat spell.
The upcoming rains are expected to bring significant relief and mark the onset of monsoon season in the region.
