What is Karachi's climate like during the hottest months?

In Karachi, May and June are typically the hottest months, with a mean maximum temperature of approximately 93 °F (34 °C). During these months, the city occasionally experiences spells of enervating weather where temperatures can rise to 105 °F (41 °C).1

While the coastal climate is generally moderated by sea breezes, the city can experience extreme heat when these cooling winds are disrupted. For instance, during the 2015 heat wave, the loss of sea breezes combined with high humidity led to temperatures peaking at 112.6 °F (44.8 °C). Such conditions, characterized by high nighttime temperatures and humidity, can place significant strain on infrastructure and public health.23
