Karachi is experiencing another spell of intense heat, with temperatures approaching 40°C and residents hoping for some relief from sea breezes in the evening. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast hot and dry weather across the city, with maximum temperatures expected to remain between 36°C and 38°C on October 22, 2026.
Karachi Weather Remains Hot and Dry
The ongoing hot spell has made daytime conditions uncomfortable for residents, particularly those who work outdoors or travel during peak afternoon hours.
According to recent weather reports, Karachi recorded a maximum temperature of 38.5°C on October 21 for the second consecutive day. Low humidity and strong sunshine contributed to the uncomfortable conditions across the city.
October is generally considered one of Karachi’s warmest months. Meteorologists have warned that temperatures could approach 40°C during the ongoing spell of hot weather.
Sea Breeze Could Provide Evening Relief
The return or strengthening of sea breezes may help moderate temperatures later in the day. However, the timing and intensity of the breeze can influence how much relief residents experience.
The PMD’s forecast indicates that hot and dry conditions are expected to continue over the coming days, with winds shifting between northeasterly, northwesterly and westerly to southwesterly directions.
