According to the Met Department, Karachi is anticipated to experience temperatures as high as 42 degrees Celsius today, as the city continues to be engulfed in a prolonged heat wave for the third straight day.

In addition to extreme heat and humidity, the city is facing partially cloudy skies.

With gusts of up to 24 km/h, the department warned that winds coming from the west are making the situation more uncomfortable. The air’s 78% relative humidity adds to the unbearably high temperatures.

The heat wave in Karachi is probably going to continue tomorrow, meteorologist Sardar Sarfraz cautioned. On the plus side, he predicted that the heat wave’s severity will start to decline on June 2, so there was some hope. With temperatures between 34 and 36 degrees Celsius, Sarfraz said that the city is predicted to stay partly cloudy ever since.

For those who have been suffering from the intense heat in recent days, the anticipated relief is a welcome change of pace. As the heat wave continues, Karachiites are urged to adopt the appropriate safety and hydration measures.
