Light morning drizzles in various parts of Karachi, including Orangi Town, Lyari, Saddar, and Clifton, provided brief relief from the ongoing heatwave on Sunday.
The city's weather remained partly cloudy, slightly reducing the temperature after a week of intense heat. The Met Department reported drizzle in several areas, including SITE, Jahangir Road, and Defense, with intermittent light rain in surrounding regions.
Despite the brief cooling effect, the weather is expected to remain hot and dry over the next 24 hours, according to the Met Department. The maximum temperature for the day is likely to range between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius, while winds from the northeast are blowing at a speed of seven kilometres per hour. The current temperature stands at 28 degrees Celsius, with a humidity level of 69%.
The recent heat in Karachi has been persistent, even in mid-October. In the past few days, the city’s temperature soared to a scorching 40 degrees Celsius. Sunday's cooler weather saw a slight drop, with the maximum temperature recorded at 36.5 degrees Celsius, and humidity reaching 42%.
The Met Office predicts that similar weather patterns will continue for the next two to three days, urging citizens to take precautions against the ongoing heat.
