KARACHI: Day temperatures are likely to increase in most cities and towns across Sindh during the next three days due to high pressure in the upper atmosphere, the Met department said on Tuesday.

It said most areas in Sindh would experience three to five degrees Celsius above normal temperatures from Wednesday (today) to Friday.

“Weather is likely to become more hotter with daytime maximum temperature ranging from 45-47°C in upper and central districts of the province,” the Met office said.
