January 22, 2021 12:36 PM


Continental air is prevailing over most parts of the country where mercury is likely to take a further dip in the coming days. However, a westerly wave is likely to affect the upper parts of the country during Friday and Saturday and Karachi is bracing for new cold Siberian winds.

However cold and dry weather is expected elsewhere in the country. Fog is likely to persist in few plain areas of Punjab and upper Sindh during morning hours.

A fresh cold system is expected to enter Karachi from Balochistan on Saturday (tomorrow). The westerly wave will bring gutsy Siberian winds with a speed from 22 to above 30 kilometers per hour, the Pakistan Meteorological Department said.
