KARACHI: Hot and dry weather is expected to prevail in the city and most other parts of the country on Tuesday as well as for the next 24 hours, according to the Met Office.

Maximum temperature in the coastal city is likely to remain between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius, as the sea breeze was not blowing during the day leading to the rise in the mercury, the Met Office said.

Mainly hot and dry weather is expected to persist in most parts of the country during the next 24 hours. However, light rain-thunderstorm (with gusty winds) is expected at isolated places in Zhob and Mirpurkhas divisions.
