Karachi Cools as Meteorologists Forecast Misty Mornings and Isolated Drizzle

A westerly wave is expected to bring misty mornings and isolated drizzle on Friday with persistent monsoon deficits keeping heavy rain unlikely.

Overview

  • The Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecast light rain or isolated drizzle for Karachi and parts of Sindh on Friday, naming Dadu, Kamber Shahdadkot, Jamshoro and Thatta as possible spots.
  • Daytime highs have fallen from about 38°C on November 6 to roughly 33°C this week and are forecast to stay near 32–34°C with lows of 19–23°C over the next three days.
  • Forecasters say a westerly wave over western and upper Pakistan is the immediate cause of rising humidity, morning mist and the chance of isolated light showers.
  • Morning visibility has already dropped in Karachi because of fog and mist, with humidity rising to 75–85% in the mornings and falling to about 35–55% by evening.
  • Longer-term prospects for significant rainfall remain poor because the 2026 monsoon left Sindh about 50.8% below normal and Karachi roughly 92% below normal, so heavier rain would need a stronger system such as an Arabian Sea low to form.
