Karachi Weather on Monday, March 9

Karachi Weather on Tuesday, March 10

Karachi Weather on Wednesday, March 11
The heat intensifies further with a high of 35°C and a low of 20°C. Hazy conditions will combine with the heat, and air quality will remain very unhealthy. Winds shift to the west-southwest at 15 km/h, providing minimal relief from the warmth.
Misty mornings and partly cloudy skies mark the days, while the UV index reaches a dangerous 8.0, classified as “Very High.” Unprotected skin can burn in minutes during peak midday hours, making sunscreen, protective clothing, and shade essential for outdoor activity.
The combination of extreme heat, high UV levels, and poor air quality creates a serious health threat. Risks of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and respiratory problems are high during this period.
The RealFeel temperature reaches 35°F on Monday and Wednesday, higher than the actual air temperature, reflecting the combined impact of heat, humidity, and sun intensity. Even in shade, temperatures remain uncomfortably warm at 32–33°C.
Westerly winds of 15–17 km/h provide minimal cooling and do not disperse the trapped pollutants. This consistent wind pattern explains why air quality remains persistently poor over the three days.
