Iconic View Of Karachi

Karachi features an arid climate, albeit a more moderate version of this climate. Karachi is located on the coast and as a result has a relatively mild climate. The level of precipitation is low for most of the year. However, due to the city's proximity to the sea, humidity levels usually remain high throughout the year. The city enjoys mild winters and warm summers. Karachi also receives the tail end of the monsoon rains. Since summer temperatures (the end of April through the end of August) are approximately 30 °C (86 °F) to 35 °C (95 °F), the winter months (November through March) are the best time to visit Karachi. The month of July generally observes annual monsoon rainfall. During the month of December most visitors, tourists and expatriates come to Karachi.
