After the wet spell ended, a terrible cold wave struck the country, with temperatures drastically plummeting in several areas of Sindh, Punjab, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to Pak Weather, the largest automated network of weather stations in Pakistan, Sindh experienced its first below-freezing night in a number of years last night. Last night, Moro, a city in Naushahro Feroze, registered a temperature of -2.7°C.
Owais Hyder, a weather expert and the CEO of Pak Weather, stated in an interview with Daily Nation Pakistan that although this isn’t the lowest temperature ever recorded in Sindh, it is still thought to be a notable low for the province because temperatures haven’t been this low in a number of years. The 2006 Mohen-Jo-Daro temperature of -5.4°C is the lowest ever recorded for Sindh.
To be clear, he continued, the Gorakh Hills in Sindh are referred to as the “Murree of Sindh” since the hill station experiences subzero temperatures and snowfall during the winter. Authorities, however, have not kept track of its temperatures over time because a meteorological observatory is not present there. As a result, Owais stated, Mohen-Jo-temperature Daro’s of -5.4°C is regarded as the lowest in the province.
Meanwhile, the extreme cold wave is also affecting other regions of the province.
After experiencing the coldest night of the winter on Saturday, Karachi awoke. claimed that last night, the temperature in Malir Cantt fell to 1.4°C.
Please take note that these are only record-breaking temperatures for Karachi this winter. In Karachi, 0°C was the lowest temperature ever recorded in 1934.
