The cold wave in the city is likely to subside tomorrow (Wednesday).“Under the influence of a previous Westerly wave, most of the areas in Pakistan are experiencing extremely cold weather, including Karachi, where the minimum temperature was 6.5 degrees Celsius last night [Sunday night],” said Sardar Sarfraz, the chief meteorological officer of Sindh on Monday.
