Karachi likely to receive light rain, drizzle on Friday: PMD

Karachi Weather Forecast for Friday

Light rain and drizzle are expected at isolated places in Karachi on Friday, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said on Wednesday. Most parts of Sindh are likely to have dry and cool weather.

Westerly Wave Affecting the Country

The Met department said a westerly wave is affecting the western and upper parts of the country. This may bring light rain to Karachi, Dadu, Kamber Shahdadkot, Jamshoro and Thatta districts.

Karachi Weather Details

Karachi was expected to stay dry on Wednesday. Mist is likely during the morning on Thursday. The city was forecast to remain partly cloudy on Friday, with chances of isolated drizzle or light rain.

The maximum temperature in Karachi is expected to stay between 32 and 34 degrees Celsius over the next three days. The minimum temperature is forecast to range between 19 and 23 degrees Celsius.

Weather Across Sindh

The department said dry weather with cool nights is likely across most parts of Sindh. Misty mornings are expected in the province's plains.

Karachi and other parts of Sindh have been seeing foggy and misty conditions during the transition to winter. Earlier this month, the PMD warned of reduced visibility in Karachi during early morning hours. Visibility fell to 2.5 kilometres on November 9.

The Met department forecast more morning fog in Karachi. Similar conditions were expected in other parts of Sindh, including Hyderabad, Sukkur, Mithi and Thatta.

Monsoon Rainfall Deficit

Sindh recorded the country's largest rainfall deficit during the 2026 monsoon season. The province received 50.8 per cent less rain than normal between July and September, according to PMD data.

Karachi faced an even greater shortfall, with rainfall 92 per cent below normal during the period. The department said below-normal monsoon activity was partly due to the El Niño weather pattern, which can influence rainfall distribution across South Asia.

Karachi also experienced its weakest monsoon in nearly three decades this year. The likelihood of significant rainfall remained low towards the end of the season. A report published by The Express Tribune on August 31 said prospects of substantial showers in September had diminished. The city relied largely on the development of a low-pressure system over the Arabian Sea for meaningful rainfall.
