Earlier this week, temperatures dropped quickly in Karachi and other parts of Sindh. This happened because cold and dry northeastern winds blew harder on Wednesday morning, causing a big decline in temperature in March, which is usually very hot.
Authorities from the Pakistan Meteorological Department said that the city’s lowest temperature was 13.1°C. This value is much cooler than the usual temperature of 19.4°C in March, according to the department.
