KARACHI: After witnessing its hottest day of the year on Wednesday with 46°C, Karachi experienced a temperature drop to 38.4°C.

However, the heat index remained high as the humidity levels were 65%. The wind blew from the south-west with a speed of 13 knots.

According to Pakistan Meteorological Department, the weather will be pleasant and partly cloudy throughout the coming week and the temperature will remain in the range between 34 and 38°C.

According to experts, the heatwave that ended on Thursday was the last one of the year in the city as there are no more chances of heatwaves unless an unexpected cyclonic activity is generated in the sea. The metropolis experienced two spells of heatwave during Ramzan in which mercury fluctuated between 44 and 46°C as the sea breeze went still.
