Speaking to News media, Owais Hyder, a weather analyst and CEO of Pak Weather, said that while this is not the lowest temperature ever recorded in Sindh, it is still seen as a significant drop for the province as temperatures have not been for several years were more so low. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Sindh is -5.4°C recorded in Mohen-Jo-Daro in 2006.
