Karachi: A cold wave is set to grip Karachi and several other cities in Sindh starting January 24, with temperatures in the port city expected to drop to single digits, a weather analyst warned on Sunday.

The meteorologist predicted that westerly winds, which began affecting the country from January 18, will continue through January 23. These winds could bring moderate rainfall to several parts of the country and snowfall in mountainous regions.

Sindh cities including Sukkur, Jacobabad, and Larkana are expected to experience moderate rain between January 21 and 23, with other regions possibly seeing cloudy skies.
