Karachi experienced its hottest July night on record last night, with the minimum temperature soaring to 32 degrees Celsius, as reported by the Meteorological Department.
This temperature marks a significant deviation from the typical July average of 27.9 degrees Celsius, reflecting an increase of 4.1 degrees. The chief meteorologist noted similar high temperatures in July of both 2021 and 2022, where temperatures peaked at 31 degrees Celsius.
These unusually high nighttime temperatures for this time of year indicate a notable departure from the usual weather patterns, impacting the daily lives of Karachi’s residents. Sleep has become more difficult for many, prompting increased use of air conditioning systems, which in turn strains the city’s power supply.
Given these developments, the Meteorological Department is closely monitoring these temperature changes to discern their underlying causes. Their aim is to provide accurate forecasts that enable residents to better prepare for prevailing weather conditions.
