Mild Relief Anticipated by Friday, Says Weather Department

KARACHI – As Karachi enters one of the hottest periods of the year, the Pakistan Meteorological Department has issued a warning about increasing temperatures beginning Thursday. A temporary suspension of the sea breeze is expected to intensify the heat over the next two days.

The Met Office reports that hot, dry winds from the west are likely to sweep across the city on Thursday and Friday, potentially driving wind speeds up to 35–40 km/h. This shift in weather patterns is expected to significantly raise the perceived temperature during the day.

With daytime highs forecast to range between 39°C and 41°C, residents may face conditions similar to a heatwave. Health experts typically advise the public to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during such weather.

May is traditionally one of the hottest months in Karachi, and current forecasts align with the city’s seasonal climate trends. Fortunately, meteorologists predict that temperatures will ease slightly starting Friday, offering some respite from the intense heat.
