The temperature is expected to remain around 29°C, with humidity at 81% and winds blowing at 3 kilometers per hour from the southeast.

The Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has restored nearly 80 percent of the 2,400 Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) affected in Karachi after torrential rains earlier this week caused widespread power outages and service disruptions.
