The recent heat wave that has engulfed the city for the past several weeks has left Karachiites in agony, and it appears that it is going to last as temperatures are predicted to soar as high as 46°C in some areas of the city today.
According to meteorologist Jawad Memon, it might get as high as 46°C in coastal communities including Korangi, Defence, and Clifton.
Memon has ruled out the chance of rain in the megalopolis for the next five to seven days, emphasizing that the current hot wave in the metropolis would continue and may even witness a further rise in temperatures.
He went on to say that the city’s temperature might only reach 38 to 40°C, which would “feel like” 42°C due to heavy humidity.
Pakistan might have three heatwaves this summer.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) reports that the city’s humidity level is 69% and that a breeze blowing in from the south-west at 19 km/h.
It should be mentioned that during the next 25 days, Pakistan may see three heatwaves in different cities, according to predictions made by the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA).
The first heatwave is predicted to strike Umarkot, Tharparkar, Tando Allahyar, Matiari, and Sanghar in Sindh, as well as Bahawalpur and Rahimyar Khan in south Punjab, according to government authorities.
