With temperatures skyrocketing and the Met Department projecting a maximum temperature of 43 degrees Celsius on Tuesday, Lahore is now witnessing an extreme heatwave.
The temperature is considerably higher on the ground floor, up to 44 degrees Celsius, which makes life very uncomfortable and heated for the occupants.
The Met Department predicts that the extended heat wave will last until Friday and that there won’t be any rapid respite.
Although it’s going to be extremely hot, there is a chance of rain later in the week. Rain and thunderstorms are expected on Saturday and Sunday, which could provide some relief from the heat.
“The intensity of heat in Lahore is at its peak, and residents are advised to take precautions,” forecasters cautioned. In Lahore, the temperature has already risen to 37 degrees Celsius.
There is hope that next week would see a decrease in the heat, giving the people of Lahore some respite.
To prevent heat-related ailments until then, health professionals suggest drinking plenty of water, keeping inside during the hottest parts of the day, and avoiding prolonged sun exposure.
