Karachi is expected to remain hot and humid over the next three days. The weather is likely to stay partly cloudy. Light drizzle is also possible in some parts of the city.

According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department, Karachi’s maximum temperature is expected to remain between 34°C and 36°C during the next three days.

The weather department said most parts of Sindh will experience hot and humid conditions today. However, some areas could receive rainfall.

Tharparkar district may receive light rain accompanied by thunderstorms. Residents have been advised to remain cautious during periods of strong winds and thunderstorms.

August could bring more rain

A private weather forecasting organisation has also issued a longer-range outlook for August. It said low-pressure systems could develop over the Bay of Bengal during the first 10 days of August.

These weather systems could increase the chances of rain across several parts of Pakistan. Northern areas of the country may experience a strong spell of rainfall.

Sindh and Balochistan could also receive one or two rain spells during the period. Karachi may see rainfall during the first week of August if favourable weather systems develop.

The forecast comes as Pakistan continues to experience monsoon weather. Rainfall in different regions has already affected temperatures and local weather conditions.

However, meteorologists have stressed that the August forecast is based on long-range weather models. Such forecasts can change as new weather data becomes available.

    PSX plunges over 1,300 points amid global market sell-off

    The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) came under heavy selling pressure on Wednesday. The benchmark KSE-100 Index fell sharply during the trading session. The index dropped 1,339.73 points, or 0.75%, to reach 176,284.15 by 1:04pm. The decline came as regional markets also faced pressure and oil prices continued to rise. The KSE-100 had already fallen 1,297.67 points, or 0.73%, earlier in the session. At 9:34am, the index was trading at 176,326.21. The market remained volatile throughout the session. The KSE-100 recorded an intraday high of 176,935.03 and a low of 175,631.74. Trading activity remained significant. Around 120.55 million shares changed hands during the session. The total traded value stood at Rs10.69 billion. The previous close of the KSE-100 Index was 177,623.88. The latest decline therefore reflected a clear shift in investor sentiment. The pressure on the local market came amid a wider sell-off across Asian stock markets. Investors have become increasingly cautious about global economic conditions. Concerns surrounding heavy investment in artificial intelligence-related companies have also affected market sentiment. Investors are assessing whether valuations in some technology sectors have risen too quickly. The rise in international oil prices added another source of uncertainty. Oil prices increased after fresh attacks were reported in the Middle East. The developments have raised concerns about possible disruptions to global oil supplies. Higher energy prices could also increase inflationary pressures in several economies. Investors are also watching the potential impact of higher oil prices on interest rates. A prolonged rise in energy costs could complicate efforts to control inflation. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have further increased uncertainty in global financial markets. The latest developments have encouraged investors to adopt a more cautious approach. The negative trend in Asian equities also affected sentiment at the PSX. Local investors remained under pressure as the benchmark index continued to trade in negative territory.

    Motorway police told not to check marriage certifi…

    Senate Standing Committee on Communications Chairman Senator Pervez Rashid has directed the Motorway Police not to check citizens’ marriage certificates, stressing that the force must maintain its professional reputation. During a committee meeting chaired by Rashid, Senator Saifullah Abro questioned the inclusion of senators’ names in a Motorway Police handout related to a seizure operation. He asked how the police determined that the recovered goods belonged to specific senators. Abro said no individual’s personal actions should be linked to the Senate or its committees. He demanded a clear explanation if any government institution had officially released the names. The IG Motorway Police said the department’s responsibility was to take action based on available information and not comment on individuals or institutions. Rashid questioned the authority under which the Motorway Police checked citizens’ marriage certificates and urged the department to avoid such practices in the future. The meeting also discussed delays in National Highway Authority (NHA) development projects and the allocation of funds. Senator Zameer Ghumro called for the completion of existing projects before launching new ones, while officials said the government was prioritising ongoing schemes. Senator Abdul Qadir raised concerns over delays in releasing funds, saying projects sometimes remain stalled for months. The committee also proposed inviting Planning Commission officials to a future meeting. The committee further discussed a motorway incident under investigation. The IG Motorway Police said officials checked a vehicle in a parking zone and that the inquiry would be presented to the committee after completion. On the seizure of smuggled cigarettes near Chakri, the IG said the Motorway Police conducts operations based on intelligence and information provided by Customs authorities. Officials from the Ministry of Communications also told the committee that the government provides loans to the NHA rather than direct funding. They said the NHA’s outstanding debt has reached around Rs3.7 trillion and the authority pays interest on the loans.

    Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce’s pets struggle after wedding

    Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce may have settled comfortably into married life, but their beloved pets are reportedly taking a little longer to adjust to their new family dynamic. The pop superstar and NFL champion exchanged wedding vows on July 3, 2026, at Madison Square Garden in what was described as a dreamy and intimate ceremony. Since then, the newlyweds are believed to have been enjoying married life and settling into their relationship with ease.However, their pets appear to be facing an entirely different kind of adjustment. According to people familiar with the couple, Swift’s cats are still getting used to Kelce’s dog, Wendy, who has become part of their shared household. While the couple themselves have reportedly adapted quickly to married life, their four-legged companions are finding it harder to establish a comfortable routine together. Swift’s cats have spent years enjoying their familiar surroundings and are reportedly not particularly impressed by the arrival of an energetic dog. Wendy, whom Kelce adopted last year, is said to be eager to interact and play with the cats, but the feeling does not appear to be mutual. The biggest challenge seems to be their very different personalities. Wendy reportedly wants to play and socialize throughout the day, while Swift’s cats prefer a quieter environment where they can relax and have their own space. The situation has reportedly become a humorous part of life inside the couple’s home, with the animals slowly learning how to coexist under the same roof. Despite the difficulties, there is reportedly no serious concern among Swift and Kelce’s friends. The couple are said to be handling the situation patiently and allowing their pets to adjust at their own pace rather than forcing them to become close immediately. The animals are gradually becoming more comfortable around one another and are eventually able to spend time in the same room. Although they may not have reached the stage of cuddling together just yet, their progress is reportedly encouraging. The situation is also being viewed as a normal part of blending two households after marriage. While Swift and Kelce have already established their rhythm as a couple, their pets are still learning how to share their space and routines. Interestingly, the pets’ slow adjustment comes as Swift and Kelce mark another important milestone in their relationship. The couple recently reached the one-year anniversary of their engagement, which they publicly announced on August 10, 2025. For now, the newlyweds appear to be giving their pets plenty of time to settle into their new reality. If their owners’ relationship is any indication, there may be plenty of time for the cats and Wendy to eventually find their own version of harmony.
