Official observations from the Pakistan Meteorological Department confirm a daily maximum of 35.4°C in Karachi on October 2 under mostly clear skies, moderate westerly winds, and humidity near 70-80%, aligning with GFS and other model consensus for mid-30s Celsius highs in this post-monsoon window. Historical October averages and current sea-breeze patterns support this range without significant cooling from clouds or rain. Trader consensus at 100% for 35°C reflects these verified measurements and narrow forecast spread, though minor revisions in station data or microscale variations could theoretically shift the exact recorded peak by 1°C.
