KARACHI: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast hot and humid weather for Karachi on June 1, 2026, with temperatures expected to range between 35°C and 37°C. The minimum temperature recorded in the city this morning was 29.8°C, while humidity levels stand at 75 percent, making conditions feel particularly uncomfortable.
Southwesterly winds are blowing at a speed of 16 kilometers per hour, offering little respite from the heat. The PMD advises residents to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, especially during peak afternoon hours. For more on heatwave preparedness, see WHO guidelines on heat and health.
Across the country, most regions will experience hot and dry weather, with southern districts of Balochistan facing very high temperatures. However, isolated rain and wind-thunderstorms are expected in northeastern Punjab, the Pothohar region, northeastern Balochistan, Kashmir, and adjoining hilly areas during the afternoon. This pattern is consistent with the seasonal monsoon dynamics typical for this time of year, as detailed by the Encyclopaedia Britannica on monsoons.
Morning temperatures in major cities were recorded as follows: Islamabad 24°C, Lahore 26°C, Karachi 30°C, Peshawar 28°C, Muzaffarabad 21°C, Quetta 20°C, Gilgit 15°C, and Murree 14°C. In Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, partly cloudy and dry weather is expected in Srinagar, Anantnag, Shopian, Leh, Pulwama, and Baramula, while Jammu will remain hot and dry. Morning temperatures there were: Srinagar, Pulwama, and Baramula 14°C; Jammu 26°C; Leh 5°C; and Anantnag and Shopian 13°C.
