Temperatures are expected to remain steady, with daytime highs between 34°C and 36°C and nighttime lows between 28°C and 30°C.
Humidity during the morning will likely remain between 70 and 80 per cent before falling to around 55 to 65 per cent in the evening. Winds will continue from the southwest.
According to the PMD, most parts of Sindh are expected to experience hot and dry weather during this period. Coastal areas, including Karachi, are likely to remain partly cloudy with occasional winds and a chance of drizzle.
People taking part in Muharram processions and gatherings are advised to prepare for warm and humid weather, especially during the daytime on the 9th and 10th of Muharram.
While interior districts of Sindh are expected to remain hot and dry, Karachi is likely to experience relatively milder weather because of partly cloudy skies, sea breeze and slight chances of drizzle along the coast.
The minimum temperature, which reached 29°C on Wednesday, is expected to remain between 28°C and 30°C on Thursday and Friday, offering slightly more comfortable conditions.
Despite this, humidity levels will remain high, particularly during the morning hours, making the weather feel warmer than the actual temperature. People attending outdoor events and processions are advised to stay hydrated.
There is a chance of isolated drizzle on all three days, especially in coastal areas. Any rainfall is expected to be light and scattered rather than widespread. However, the higher moisture levels are likely to increase humidity, making conditions feel warmer, particularly during the morning hours when Muharram processions are usually at their busiest.
