A meteorological analyst on Friday said Karachi will experience cold weather from today with the minimum temperature expected to hover between 11°C and 14°C tonight.
The analyst said the wind direction has changed in the port city from today and now the winds are blowing from the north-west direction.
Due to the change in the wind direction, the humidity ratio has also decreased.
Last week, weather analysts predicted Karachi to witness warmer days with temperatures to go up to 26°C to 28°C during the day and dropping to a minimum of 11°C to 13°C.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) had also predicted the weather to remain cold and dry with the minimum temperature in the metropolis expected to remain from 9°C to 11°C on January 26.
The national weather agency had reported that the humidity in the air would remain around 41% with winds to blow from the northeast at a speed of 11 kilometres per hour.
According to the PMD, rainfall from September 1, 2024, to January 15, 2025, was 40% below normal across Pakistan, with Sindh, Balochistan, and Punjab being the most affected provinces.
The rainfall deficits of 52%, 45%, and 42%, respectively, have been recorded. The drought is particularly affecting rain-fed areas.
