Pakistan’s meteorological department forecasts extremely hot weather throughout May for Karachi, the country’s largest city.
Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz clarified that despite increasing temperatures, there is no threat of a heat wave in Karachi currently. “Sea winds have halted, leading to warmer conditions. However, a heat wave is not expected,” he stated.
The weather office reports that continental air is currently influencing most parts of Pakistan.
For Monday, the forecast predicts mainly dry conditions across the country, except possible light rain-thunderstorms in isolated areas of Gilgit-Baltistan.
Tuesday will also see hot and dry weather in most regions, though similar partly cloudy conditions with potential light rain-thunderstorms could occur in Gilgit-Baltistan. Temperatures are expected to rise gradually in the plains.
Over the past 24 hours, the weather has been predominantly hot and dry nationwide.
Recorded temperatures today reached 46°C in Jacobabad and 45°C in both Mohenjo Daro and Dadu.
