Karachi: The city of Karachi is expected to experience persistently hot, humid, and partly cloudy weather today as temperatures continue to rise across the coastal metropolis. According to Beyond Time News, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast maximum temperatures between 37°C and 39°C, with uncomfortable humidity levels intensifying the heat.
Residents across Karachi are likely to face muggy conditions throughout the day. Moreover, weather experts say the combination of high humidity and rising temperatures will make the environment feel hotter than the actual recorded readings.
High Humidity Intensifies Heat Across the City
The Pakistan Meteorological Department reported that humidity levels in Karachi have reached around 79 percent. As a result, the heat index remains significantly higher than normal temperature readings.
Although the actual temperature remains in the upper 30s, the humid air reduces the body’s ability to cool down through evaporation. Consequently, residents may feel prolonged discomfort during outdoor movement, especially during midday hours.
In addition, south-westerly winds are currently blowing at around 18 kilometers per hour. However, these winds are only providing limited relief from the ongoing heat spell.
Temperature Forecast Remains Steady
The PMD has maintained its forecast for Karachi, predicting maximum temperatures between 37°C and 39°C. Meanwhile, nighttime conditions are expected to remain warm and humid, offering little respite to residents.
According to Beyond Time News, weather officials have also ruled out any immediate chances of rainfall in the city. Therefore, dry and hot conditions are likely to continue over the coming days.
Meteorologists note that coastal cities like Karachi often experience high humidity during this period due to seasonal wind patterns. As a result, even moderate temperatures can feel significantly warmer.
Weather Conditions Across Pakistan
While Karachi continues to face humid heat, most parts of the country are also experiencing hot and dry conditions.
The PMD has stated that very hot weather is expected in the plains. However, some relief is likely in northern and hilly regions.
Rain, wind, and thunderstorm activity is expected in Kashmir and surrounding hilly areas. These conditions may provide temporary relief from the ongoing heat in those regions.
According to Beyond Time News, extreme heat conditions have also been recorded in parts of Sindh. In Dadu, temperatures have soared as high as 48°C, highlighting the severity of the ongoing heatwave in certain areas.
Major City Temperatures Recorded

Rising Heat Raises Health Concerns
With rising temperatures and increasing humidity, health experts advise citizens to take precautionary measures. Staying hydrated, avoiding direct sunlight during peak hours, and wearing light clothing can help reduce heat-related risks.
Furthermore, prolonged exposure to hot and humid conditions can lead to dehydration, fatigue, and heat exhaustion. Therefore, outdoor activities during midday are discouraged where possible.
Conclusion
Karachi continues to experience a steady spell of hot and humid weather as temperatures approach 39°C. With high humidity levels and limited wind relief, residents are likely to face uncomfortable conditions throughout the day. Meanwhile, other parts of Pakistan remain under similar heat patterns, with only northern regions expected to receive intermittent weather relief.
Meteorologists suggest that the current weather trend may persist in the coming days, keeping much of the country under warm to very hot conditions.
