KARACHI – The intense cold wave driven by icy winds from Balochistan continues to sweep across the city, with the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecasting that the chilly weather will persist until the end of January. According to the latest advisory, Karachi is expected to remain cold and dry with partly cloudy skies over the next 24 hours.

Wind and Humidity
The city is currently experiencing brisk northeasterly winds blowing at speeds of 20 to 40 km/h. These dry, cold winds are the primary reason for the increased “chill factor” felt by citizens.
