Since the Arabian Sea winds that normally moderate the city’s climate were suspended, Karachi has been experiencing sweltering weather since the morning.

As per the Met Office, the city’s minimum temperature today was recorded at 27 degrees Celsius. Temperatures will feel between 40 and 42 degrees Celsius, with a maximum anticipated to hit 37 degrees, according to the weather office.

As reported by the Met Office, the port city’s humidity ratio rose to 77 percent.

Even during the worst heatwaves in the area, the sea breeze’s cooling influence on the environment typically manages the city’s temperature.

After the city of Karachi was shut off to winds coming from the Arabian Sea, a severe heatwave in June 2015 resulted in over 1100 heat-related deaths.

About 400 kilometres out from Karachi, an unusual weather system occurred in the Arabian Sea that killed the sea wind. It was a large, low-pressure area that eventually developed into a depression.

Over a few days, the depression stayed afloat in the Arabian Sea, raising the temperature in Karachi by ten degrees Celsius and resulting in an unusual number of deaths from the severe weather during Ramadan in 2015.
