Karachi is expected to experience light rain or drizzle in some areas tonight (Wednesday) and tomorrow morning, due to ongoing marine cloud cover affecting the city’s weather.
A weather analyst noted that the sea breeze is blowing at a typical pace, with wind speeds ranging between 25 and 35 kilometres per hour. The sky is likely to remain partly cloudy throughout the day.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), temperatures in Karachi may rise to between 34°C and 36°C today. However, due to high humidity, it could feel much hotter, potentially as high as 40°C to 43°C, the analyst added.
The Met Office forecasts that very hot and dry weather is likely to persist in most plain areas of the country during Eidul Adha.
The weather department predicted that moist currents are penetrating the northeastern parts of the country, and a westerly wave is also likely to approach the upper parts on June 3.
Under the influence of this weather system, the PMD said duststorms, rain accompanied by thunderstorms, isolated heavy falls, and hailstorms were forecast in several areas.
These include Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan, Murree, Galliyat, Chitral, Dir, Swat, Malakand, Mansehra, Battagram, Shangla, Kohistan, and Abbottabad from June 2 to 5, with occasional gaps.
The PMD added that rain, coupled with thunderstorms, was also forecast for the Eid in Dir, Swat, Chitral, Kohistan, and Mansehra
The Met Office warned that windstorms, hailstorms, and lightning may damage loose structures like electric poles, trees, vehicles, and solar panels in the upper and central parts of the country.
