According to Weather.com (and CNN Weather) temperature lows will be around 8-9C. I'm not in Karachi so I don't know how cold it actually is there but 8-9C sounds a lot more believable than -2C.
It was definitely colder than 8-9, that's for sure but maybe not -2. Its been windy so perhaps the BBC forecast is inclusive of wind-chill.
