Karachi is likely to experience winter conditions from mid-December, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department, although temperatures and the intensity of the cold will depend on changing weather patterns.
KARACHI — WEB DESK: Winter is expected to begin in Karachi around mid-December, while hot and dry weather is likely to persist over the coming weeks, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said on Wednesday, October 28.
According to the Met Office, daytime temperatures could remain between 36°C and 38°C until the end of October, with the mercury likely to reach 37°C through November 6. Temperatures are expected to ease to around 35°C after that, indicating a gradual transition towards cooler weather.
The forecast suggests Karachi residents may have to wait several more weeks for more noticeable winter conditions, despite cooler nights expected during November.
Karachi weather forecast for November
The PMD expects daytime weather to remain mostly clear and sunny during November, while nights are likely to be relatively cool.
An earlier monthly outlook indicated that daytime temperatures could range between 33°C and 35°C, while nighttime temperatures may remain between 19°C and 22°C. Both ranges are above Karachi’s reported November averages of 32.6°C during the day and 17.7°C at night.
The forecast indicates that daytime heat may continue even as overnight conditions gradually become more comfortable.
When will winter begin in Karachi?
According to the latest report, winter is expected to set in around mid-December. Previous statements attributed to Karachi’s meteorological officials have also placed the seasonal onset around December 15, although actual conditions may vary with changing weather patterns.
The transition is expected to bring cooler mornings and nights before colder conditions become more established. However, the current forecast does not indicate that an unusually severe winter is expected.
What residents should expect
For the immediate future, Karachi is likely to remain hot during the day, with temperatures gradually easing in November. Residents should continue to follow official PMD bulletins because forecasts can change as weather systems and wind patterns shift.
The distinction is important: mid-December is the expected onset of winter, not a guarantee that cold weather will begin across the city on a specific date.
