KARACHI: High humidity continued to make weather conditions suffocating across Karachi and other parts of Sindh, even as maximum temperatures in most areas remained close to or slightly below normal, according to data released by the Pakistan Meteorological Department.
In Karachi, the discomfort was driven mainly by moisture in the air rather than extreme heat. On Wednesday night, humidity rose to 78 percent while the temperature dropped to 29 degrees Celsius, creating a sweltering feel.
On Thursday, the city recorded a maximum temperature of 34.8 degrees Celsius, almost normal for this time of year, but humidity stayed high at 67 percent, keeping conditions uncomfortable.
During the day, the weather was not fully overcast. Thin clouds passed across the sun but failed to block its heat, offering little relief, particularly for daily wage workers and others working in open areas.
Across Sindh, maximum temperatures mostly hovered around seasonal averages. Dadu was the hottest place, recording 43.5 degrees Celsius, slightly below its normal level. Jacobabad reached 42.5 degrees Celsius, marginally above normal, while Larkana recorded 41.5 degrees Celsius, below its average. Sukkur and Rohri remained around 41 to 42 degrees Celsius, also close to normal.
