Residents of Karachi should brace for colder temperatures as the ongoing cold wave is expected to intensify in January, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD). The city, known for its typically mild winters, is likely to experience a significant drop in temperatures, with nighttime lows predicted to fall below 10°C in some areas.
Meteorologists attribute the intensification to strong winds from the north and a prolonged influence of western disturbances. “The cold wave will peak in January, making it one of the coldest months for Karachi in recent years,” stated a PMD official.
Health experts have advised citizens to take precautions, especially during the early mornings and late evenings when the chill is most severe. People are encouraged to wear warm clothing, stay indoors when possible, and consume hot beverages to stay warm.
This surge in cold conditions may also impact daily life, including an increased demand for gas and electricity. Authorities are urging residents to use resources responsibly to avoid potential shortages.
With Karachiites gearing up for the unusually chilly weather, many are embracing the rare opportunity to enjoy winter delicacies and festive gatherings during this cold spell.
