Temperatures are beginning to climb in Karachi, indicating a transition to milder conditions as the winter season seemingly draws to a close.

90% of the winter season has passed, a weather analyst told Geo News, leading to the decline in chilly weather across the metropolis 

According to the weather expert, the city is likely to experience pleasant conditions over the next few days, with temperatures gradually rising.

Meanwhile, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said the weather is expected to remain dry over the next 24 hours, while nights will stay cool. The minimum temperature is likely to range between 12 and 14 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature is expected to remain between 27°C and 29°C.

The PMD added that the minimum temperature recorded overnight (Sunday) was 14°C. 

Currently, the humidity level stands at 58%, with northerly winds blowing at a speed of 11 kilometres per hour.

The metropolis welcomed a wave of cold weather last month in the aftermath of rain, as mercury dropped to as low as 6°C in some areas, with the "feels like" temperature plunging to as low as 4°C on Friday.

The weather conditions remained cold towards the end of January.

As per meteorological experts, the change of conditions was a result of cold winds and rain produced by a westerly system in the Arabian Sea.
