KARACHI: The Pakistan Meteorological Department has warned of a further rise in temperatures in Karachi starting today (Thursday), with sea breezes expected to remain partially suspended over the next two days.

According to the department, hot winds from the west may blow today and tomorrow, causing an increase in daytime heat. Winds could reach speeds of 35 to 40 kilometres per hour on Thursday, intensifying the effect of the heat.

Due to the dry and hot winds, citizens may experience heatwave-like conditions during the day. The temperature is expected to reach between 39°C and 41°C today and tomorrow.

The department also noted that Karachi is typically among the hottest cities during May, which is considered one of the peak summer months in the region.

However, some relief is expected from Friday onwards, with a slight drop in temperature likely.
