Karachi is set to experience a shift in weather conditions, with nighttime temperatures expected to rise to 14 to 16 degrees Celsius and daytime highs reaching 30 degrees Celsius, while the city's air quality remains a significant concern due to high particulate matter levels.

The temperature is expected to gradually increase over the next few days, with the skies clearing and wind speeds decreasing.
Meanwhile, the city's air quality has been rated as unhealthy, with particulate matter (PM2.5) levels reaching 178, making Karachi the 7th most polluted city in the world. This has raised concerns about the health and well-being of the city's residents, particularly those with pre-existing respiratory conditions.
