Karachi Becomes Second Most Polluted City on Air Quality Index

Karachi is currently grappling with deteriorating air quality, ranking as the world’s second most polluted city, as reported by the Met Office.

The city’s temperature has dropped to 13.5 degrees Celsius, contributing to colder nights and exacerbating the air quality situation. The level of particulate matter has surged to 262, indicating a significant pollution level.

This undesirable air quality is attributed to a combination of factors, including dry weather conditions. The maximum temperature in Karachi is expected to reach 28 to 30 degrees Celsius, with humidity standing at 57%. The weather forecast indicates a continuation of cold and dry conditions in most Sindh districts, with the possibility of fog and smog in specific areas.

Additionally, Balochistan is anticipated to experience cold and frosty conditions, particularly in its northern districts. The situation highlights the need for measures to address air quality issues in Karachi and underscores the impact of weather conditions on environmental factors.
