The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) announced on Sunday that Karachi might experience some light drizzle today, with partly cloudy conditions expected in the city over the next 24 hours.
The PMD reported a minimum temperature of 27.5°C and anticipated maximum temperatures ranging from 33°C to 35°C. Humidity levels stand at 75%, and winds blowing in from the southwest and west are between 18 to 27 km/hour.
In addition, the PMD predicts rain, strong winds, and thunderstorms in several regions, including Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), southeast Sindh, northeast Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Kashmir. Heavy rainfall is expected in KP, Islamabad, the Potohar region, eastern and southern Punjab, and southeast Sindh during this forecasted period.
This weather pattern is attributed to moderate monsoon currents from the Bay of Bengal affecting the upper and central regions, along with a westerly wave present in the upper and western parts of the country.
In the last 24 hours, most of the country experienced hot and humid weather. However, there were instances of rain, wind, and thunderstorms in various places. Notable rainfall measurements include Rawalpindi (Chaklala 72mm, Shamsabad 50mm), Islamabad (Bokra 59mm, Zero Point 54mm, Saidpur 37mm, Golra 19mm), and other locations in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
The highest maximum temperatures recorded during this period reached 42°C in Sibbi, Khairpur, and Dadu.
