The port city is set to experience strong winds starting tomorrow, with gusts expected to reach speeds of 25 to 35 km/h, according to Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz.
The winds, originating from the northeast, will affect the city on December 24 and 25.
The forecast predicts a noticeable dip in temperature during this period, with the daytime high expected to remain around 25°C. However, the night is anticipated to be significantly colder, with temperatures potentially dropping to between 9°C and 11°C.
The weather expert’s remarks come as the temperature in the country’s financial hub has dropped to single digits on multiple occasions in the ongoing month.
The prevailing cold wave is not limited to the metropolis as the temperature has gone below the freezing mark in multiple areas across Balochistan as well.
Quetta’s temperature was recorded at -5°C, whereas it was -4°C in Kalat and Zhob, and -7°C in Ziarat.
