Most of the country is anticipated to see hot, dry weather, with certain important regions seeing record-breaking temperatures, according to the Met Department’s forecast.
Islamabad’s weather is expected to stay hot and partly cloudy during the day, with the likelihood of rain in some places in the evening along with wind and thundershowers, according to a meteorological department spokesperson. Temperatures as high as 40 degrees Celsius are predicted for the nation’s capital.
A few locations in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), northeast Punjab, and the Potohar region are likely to get rain, which will provide some much-needed reprieve from the heat.
There will be extreme heat in many parts of the country; Dadu and Turbat should have the highest temperature of 46 degrees Celsius. Temperatures in Lahore could reach 42 degrees Celsius, according to the prediction.
In the meantime, Karachi will see mild weather with a minor drop in temperature; 36 degrees Celsius is predicted.
Karachi’s heat wave is becoming stronger every day. Residents may feel as hot as 45 degrees Celsius because of the high humidity levels, which could be uncomfortable and frightening.
The city’s current temperature is 31 degrees Celsius as of Monday morning, with an overnight low of 29 degrees Celsius. The impact of the heat is exacerbated by the air’s current humidity ratio of 78%.
The wind speed is currently 15 km/h, but estimates indicate that it will reach 20 km/h during the course of the day. The city is scorching due to the high humidity and lack of sea breezes, even with the wind.
In light of the predicted high temperatures, locals in the impacted areas are urged to take the appropriate safety measures to stay hydrated and minimise prolonged sun exposure. Public health experts advise individuals to stay inside during the hottest parts of the day and to be cautious of heat-related ailments.
