Karachi recorded the coldest night of the winter this year today (Wednesday), with the temperature dropping to 12 degrees Celsius. 

According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), cold and dry weather is likely to prevail in the metropolis in the next 24 hours. 

The Met Office said that the mercury is expected to drop as low as 10 to 12°C in the coming days while the maximum temperature is likely to rise between 25 to 27°C. 

The humidity was reported at 60% and the speed of winds blowing from the northeast is 3 kilometres per hour. 

Speaking to Geo.tv, chief meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz said that the minimum temperature of this winter season has been recorded as low as 11.5°C in December. 

Last year on January 14, the temperature dropped to 6°C in the port city, said the chief meteorologist. 

He added that the weather in Karachi may become colder in the next three to four days with a minimum temperature of 10°C. Sarfaraz also said that the cold will last for the next two to three weeks. 

In addition, the chief meteorologist said that the weather was not as cold this winter. 

In a recent report by the EU’s climate service, the year 2023 has officially secured its place as the hottest on record, surpassing previous temperatures by approximately 1.48°C. 

Human-induced climate change and the influence of the El Niño weather phenomenon contributed to this unprecedented warmth, with global air and sea surface temperatures consistently setting new highs.

From July onward, almost every day witnessed a new global air temperature record, creating an exceptional and prolonged spell of warmth.
