Karachi is set for a pleasant and sunny day. The temperature is expected to climb to about 29°C, while the early morning will feel cooler with readings around 11°C.

Quetta will remain the coldest among major cities. The provincial capital is likely to reach a high near 17°C, but temperatures may fall to -1°C or even lower overnight. The Met Office warned that hilly areas will feel cold to very cold, especially during the morning and night.

Meanwhile, most districts of Balochistan are expected to remain cold, with many also likely to stay dry. Murree, Galiyat and nearby regions are set for another cold day, while Sindh’s districts are forecast to stay mostly dry.

Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir are also expected to experience cold and dry conditions as the current weather pattern persists, according to the Met Office.
