In light of the sweltering heat and humidity, the Karachi Bar Association (KBA) has requested a “exemption from wearing black coats” in court.
In response to the prolonged heat weather in the port city, the bar association filed a letter to the sessions judges requesting an exception for attorneys to wear black coats for ten days.
According to the general secretary of the KBA, attorneys were having trouble carrying out their duties while wearing black coats and had health problems.
Judges of the sessions have therefore been asked to permit attorneys to carry out court-related duties without donning black jackets.
The mercury jumped to 37°C today, which felt like 54°C, and the city has been experiencing dangerously high temperatures for the past few days, making life miserable for the majority of people.
The day before, the city’s temperature rose to an oppressive 40.5°C, which felt more like a searing 56°C because there were no sea breezes and a 66% humidity level at 5 p.m.
The feels-like temperature is determined by the sense of actual heat or cold experienced outside and is dependent on a number of environmental factors, such as humidity, air temperature, and wind speed, all of which together affect how people perceive the weather based on their exposure.
