Karachi: The Meteorological Department has warned residents of Karachi to brace for colder weather over the weekend, with temperatures potentially dropping to single digits.

According to the department, cold northeasterly winds are currently affecting the city. From Thursday night onwards, the minimum temperature is expected to remain between 10 to 11 degrees Celsius.

Meteorological spokesperson Anjum Nazir stated that by Saturday and Sunday, the cold is likely to intensify further. During these days, nighttime temperatures could fall to as low as 9 degrees Celsius.
