Climate characteristics of Pakistan, what kind of city is Karachi, Pakistan?

Pakistan has a tropical climate, with generally high temperatures and relatively scarce precipitation. Areas with annual precipitation of less than 250 mm account for more than three-quarters of the country's total area. The Indus River flows through Pakistan. The runoff of the Indus River changes greatly seasonally. In order to regulate the water volume and meet the needs of irrigation, a large number of water conservancy projects have been built, creating conditions for the development of agricultural production. Except for the tropical climate in the southern part of Pakistan, the rest of Pakistan has a subtropical climate. The south is hot and humid, affected by the monsoon, and has a long rainy season; the north is dry and cold, with some places covered with snow all year round. The annual average temperature is 27℃.

Karachi, Pakistan, is located in the west of the country. It was originally the capital of the country and later moved to Islamabad, but it is still the largest city in Pakistan. The precipitation in Karachi is less than that in Islamabad; the annual temperature variation in Karachi is smaller than that in Islamabad.

Karachi is affected by northeasterly winds in winter, resulting in less precipitation; in summer, southwesterly winds are affected by geostrophic deflection, deflecting westward and having a small intersection angle with the coastline, resulting in little precipitation. Islamabad: It has a low latitude and high temperatures in summer, which produce convective rain and cyclonic rain; it is located on a plateau and foothills, and there are many terrain rains. Karachi is located on the coast and is greatly affected by the ocean, so the annual temperature changes are small; Islamabad is deep inland and has a high altitude, so the annual temperature changes are large.
