On Tuesday, mercury in the city was recorded at 13 degrees Celcius. The Met Office has forecast cold and dry weather in Sindh throughout this week.
It said that the temperature in the city is expected to drop to single digits, between 9 and 11 degrees Celcius, from Wednesday, December 15.

On December 11, Karachi recorded its coldest day of the season so far after the temperature dropped to 10 degrees. Earlier, chief meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz said that the coldest winter month this year across Pakistan will be January. “This is the period you should actually be prepping up for,” he cautioned.
