The Met Department has warned about a heat wave in Karachi from May 29 to 31.
Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz stated that temperatures in Karachi today are expected to reach between 40 and 42 degrees Celsius.
Several districts in Sindh, including Qamber Shahdadkot, Larkana, Shikarpur, and Jacobabad, will experience temperatures 6 to 8 degrees higher than normal. Additionally, regions like Khairpur, Sanghar, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, and Tharparkar may see temperatures 4 to 6 degrees Celsius higher.
Sarfaraz warned that the heat will be particularly intense on May 29 and 30. Residents are urged to avoid heat-related illnesses during this extreme temperature period.
Despite the current heat wave, there is hope. The weather is expected to improve after June 10 to 15, offering some respite for residents.
The Punjab Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has also warned about the ongoing heat wave across Punjab. A spokesperson from the PDMA stated that temperatures are expected to soar between 45 and 50 degrees Celsius, intensifying the heatwave’s impact.
Certain districts, including Bahawalpur, Rahim Yar Khan, Dera Ghazi Khan, and Multan, may experience particularly severe conditions. The PDMA is actively working to ensure clean water in affected areas, with special attention given to districts like Cholistan.
