Karachi may experience hot weather due to the presence of an anti-cyclonic wave, causing increased heat intensity in parts of Sindh and Balochistan provinces.

A weather analyst said the weather is likely to remain hot and dry as the presence of an anti-cyclonic wave near the Oman coast increased the pressure and affected the sea breeze.

Commenting on the current weather conditions, the weather analyst predicts a slight rise in temperatures in some areas of Sindh and Balochistan, while Karachi is expected to experience hot weather from today to Tuesday.

The heat has started to increase in Karachi.

According to the notification issued by the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) on Saturday, the weather will remain hot and dry today in the metropolis and the maximum temperature may go up to 37°C to 39°C.

It added that low humidity caused the temperature to rise.

However, the weather analyst does not attribute the current hot weather to a heat wave and says that it is not a heat wave as the sea breeze will resume at a light speed in the evening or night and there is a possibility of rain in some parts of Sindh including Karachi in late April or early May.
