KARACHI: Residents of Karachi can expect partly cloudy and humid weather over the next three days, with chances of light rain and drizzle during the early morning and nighttime hours, according to the latest forecast issued by the Meteorological Department’s Early Warning Centre.

Weather officials said the city is likely to remain under the influence of moist sea winds, creating favorable conditions for cloud formation and intermittent drizzle in different areas. The forecast indicates that the maximum temperature during the next three days is expected to remain between 34 and 36 degrees Celsius, while humidity levels are likely to stay elevated.

The department further noted that southwesterly sea breezes are expected to remain active over the coming days. These winds are likely to moderate temperatures and provide some relief from extreme heat, although humid conditions may continue to make the weather feel warmer than the actual temperature.

Meanwhile, a separate weather system affecting parts of Sindh is expected to bring dust storms, strong winds, and scattered rainfall to several districts of the province. Meteorologists have attributed the changing weather pattern to an ongoing westerly wave influencing atmospheric conditions across the region.

Under the impact of this system, light rain accompanied by thunder and gusty winds is forecast for districts including Jacobabad, Kashmore, Qambar Shahdadkot, Shikarpur, Larkana, Ghotki, Sukkur, Dadu, Khairpur, Sanghar, Naushahro Feroze, Shaheed Benazirabad, and Jamshoro. Residents in these areas have been advised to remain cautious, particularly during periods of strong winds and thunderstorms.

Weather experts say the rainfall may help lower temperatures in some interior regions of Sindh, where hot and dry conditions have persisted in recent weeks. However, authorities have also warned that sudden windstorms could affect traffic flow, electricity supply, and outdoor activities.

The Meteorological Department continues to monitor the situation and has advised citizens to stay updated through official weather bulletins. People living in vulnerable areas are encouraged to take necessary precautions as weather conditions may change rapidly during the ongoing spell.

Overall, Karachi is expected to experience relatively pleasant weather compared to recent weeks, with cloudy skies, sea breezes, and occasional drizzle contributing to a more comfortable environment across the city.
