The first spell of cold is expected to hit Karachi after December 6, chief meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz has predicted.
While talking with a private TV Channel he stated that, traditionally, winter in the city begins after the first or second week of December.
“You would have noticed that the wind, especially at night time, has become chilly even though the days at hot,” Sarfaraz said. “From next week onwards, we are looking forward to a dip in temperatures in the morning as well.”
The meteorologist pointed out that the coldest winter month this year across Pakistan will be January. “This is the period you should actually be prepping up for,” he cautioned.
He stated that light rain is expected in Islamabad, Lahore, Gujranwala, and neighbouring areas in the second week of December. Snowfall has been forecast in Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. But winter this year is expected to remain dry.
