The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) issued on Sunday a forecast for hot weather and rains in Karachi, predicting the temperature to go up as high as 39 degrees Celsius this week. "Yesterday's low pressure over Rajasthan has shifted to the east with its trough extending westwards,” the PMD’s weather outlook stated. Due to reduced sea breeze and hot desert winds from Balochistan blowing towards the city, the temperature may rise, he added. Karachi faced intense heat last week as well as intermittent rains in various areas. The met office has said that Karachi has received 60% less rainfall than its regular monsoon season this year.
