- Karachi’s August Weather: Experience of hot and humid conditions, causing low energy levels.

Karachi, known for its typically hot and humid climate in August, is currently experiencing a surge in humidity levels leading to feelings of fatigue and sluggishness among residents. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted the prevailing weather conditions for the provincial capital.
As anticipated by the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), Karachi is bracing for another day of hot and humid weather. The city’s residents are expected to endure the effects of high humidity, which often leads to decreased energy levels and a sense of lethargy.
According to the Meteorological Office, a partly cloudy atmosphere is expected to envelop the southeastern region. In addition, coastal areas might experience episodes of light rain and drizzle throughout Tuesday. These weather patterns can be attributed to the influence of moist currents from the Arabian Sea.
The local temperature in Karachi is showing a minimum of 31 degrees Celsius. While the mercury is expected to rise during the day, the maximum temperature could peak at around 33 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, a consistent southwest wind at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour is anticipated.
Unfortunately, the air quality in Karachi has deteriorated, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) reaching a value of 113 on Tuesday. This significant deterioration poses immediate health risks, especially for individuals who are sensitive to air pollution. Prolonged exposure to such conditions can lead to breathing difficulties and irritation in the throat.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) highlights the presence of weak moist currents originating from the Arabian Sea, which are affecting the upper regions of the country. Concurrently, an atmospheric phenomenon known as a westerly wave is influencing weather conditions in the upper parts of the nation.
Regional Rain and Weather Outlook: While the plain areas of the country are expected to face hot and humid conditions, specific regions are likely to experience varying weather patterns. Isolated places in the Pothohar region, including northeastern Punjab, Islamabad, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan, and Kashmir, are predicted to witness more rain, along with wind and thundershowers.
