KARACHI: Some areas of the metropolis, especially the eastern region including Malir and airport, experienced light drizzle early on Friday.

A Meteorological department official explained to Dawn that it was not pre-monsoon rain but a local phenomenon which occurred when the sea breeze hit lower clouds.

He said the weather in the metropolis remained relatively pleasant with the maximum temperature of 33.5 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature of 29°C. The humidity was 78 per cent in the morning and 67pc in the evening.

The weatherman said the weather in the city will likely be cloudy and windy with chances of light drizzle on Saturday, Eid day.

As against Karachi, the upper and central parts of the province sizzled on Friday due to hot and dry continental winds.

The hottest place in Sindh was Jacobabad where the temperature reached 47.5°C.

These regions will experience similar weather even on Saturday.

Some other Sindh towns where high temperatures were recorded were: Dadu and Larkana (47°C); Moenjodaro and Rohri (46°C); Nawabshah and Sukkur (45.5°C); Padidan (43.5°C); and Sakrand (41°C).
