University of Maryland Predicts Drastic Temperature Increase for Karachi in Coming Years

The university’s forecast indicates that temperatures in Karachi are expected to rise by 3.3 percent in the near future.

The report also suggests that by 2080, temperatures may increase by five to six degrees in over four thousand cities worldwide.

In Pakistan, cities most affected by climate change include Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Peshawar, and Quetta.

Research indicates that Karachi’s summers are likely to become 18.2 percent drier, with winters five degrees hotter and only a 0.4% chance of rain. This suggests that Karachi’s climate may soon resemble that of Al-Bahah, Saudi Arabia.

The Meteorological Department reported that the average night temperature in July is 27.9 degrees Celsius. However, on the night of July 17, the minimum temperature was 32 degrees Celsius, significantly higher than the average.
