Karachi weather updates – 16 September 2023

As we step into the third week of September, Pakistan is still grappling with hot and humid weather. The scorching sun continues to bear down on most parts of the country, especially in Karachi, the provincial capital of Sindh.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted sultry weather in many districts, with temperatures soaring to 33°C at noon. The humidity level hovers around 85%, making it quite uncomfortable for residents.

The city’s air quality, however, remains relatively fair, with a recorded index of 39, although sensitive individuals may still experience minor symptoms due to prolonged exposure.

In some relief for Karachi, the PMD anticipates isolated rain-thunderstorm activity in various areas, offering a temporary respite from the heat.
