The minimum and maximum temperatures recorded on Thursday were 27 and 31.5 degrees Celsius, respectively, with high humidity ranging between 85 per cent in the morning and 81pc in the evening.

Scattered rain of moderate intensity with isolated falls is also expected in Mirpurkhas, Thatta, Hyderabad and Sanghar districts.
