The weather in Karachi got colder on Tuesday as the temperature dropped to 16°C due to northwestern winds, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has said.
According to the PMD, the weather in Karachi is expected to remain partly cloudy within the next 24 hours, with the city likely to experience light showers.

Last week, the PMD had warned that Karachi’s weather was expected to become colder and chillier as the city would receive the first rainfall of winters between November 23 and November 25.
A spokesperson for the meteorological department had said at the time, however, that there was no forecast of thunder or lightning. Karachiites may experience stronger and colder-than-usual winds following the winter’s first rainfall, the PMD had noted.
The temperatures in Karachi may drop and the severity of the cold rise after the first rains of winter, added the PMD.
