Hot and dry weather is set to continue in Karachi until Friday, with daytime temperatures possibly climbing to 38°C, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the national weather service, said in a Monday statement.
The Met Office said the intensity of the heat is likely to stay high through that stretch. After Friday, daytime readings are expected to ease only slightly, settling around 34°C to 36°C, so afternoons should still feel warm even as the short-term pattern shifts.
Cooler nights, warmer-than-usual days
Cooler nights have already started in the city. Overnight temperatures are forecast to fall to around 22°C in the coming days. Even so, the PMD said the overall pattern is likely to remain warmer than normal.
That mix—hot and dry days followed by milder nights—matters for outdoor work, school routines, and evening comfort across Karachi’s dense neighbourhoods.
November outlook above the monthly average
Looking further ahead, the department forecast above-normal temperatures in Karachi through November. Daytime highs could range between 33°C and 35°C, while night-time readings are expected between 19°C and 22°C for the month.
The normal November daytime temperature for Karachi is 32.6°C, and the usual night-time figure is 17.7°C. On that basis, both day and night averages may sit above those benchmarks if the forecast holds.

Aasan alfaaz mein
Karachi mein jume tak garmi aur sukha mausam chal sakta hai, aur din ka temperature 38 degree tak ja sakta hai. Us ke baad din thora halka ho sakta hai, lekin phir bhi 34 se 36 degree ke qareeb reh sakta hai. November mein din aur raat dono usual se garam rehne ka andaza hai. Bahar kaam karne walon aur bachon ko dopahar ki tezi se bachna chahiye; raaten ab thori thandi ho rahi hain.
