On Tuesday, the city recorded a temperature of around 35°C, with forecasts suggesting it may rise between 37°C and 39°C during the day. While this is slightly lower than Monday’s extreme heat, conditions remain uncomfortable due to high temperatures and dry winds.
Humidity levels in the city have been recorded at around 20 percent, contributing to the harsh weather conditions. Monday was described as the hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures exceeding 40°C as sea breezes weakened and hot northwesterly winds dominated the region.
The Met Office has also warned that another spell of intense heat is expected to affect Sindh from May 7, followed by a further rise in temperatures in Karachi starting around May 13. Officials have stated that no rainfall is expected in the city during May based on current weather patterns.
Authorities have advised citizens to take precautionary measures, including avoiding direct sunlight during peak afternoon hours, staying hydrated, and limiting outdoor activities as much as possible.
The recent heatwave has already had severe impacts across the province. Reports indicate that extreme temperatures have contributed to multiple fatalities in Karachi, where hot weather conditions have persisted for several days.
Other cities in Sindh have also been affected by rising temperatures. Hyderabad recorded highs of around 43°C, while several other districts, including Nawabshah, Dadu, Larkana, Sanghar, Sakrand, and Mirpur Khas, have experienced temperatures exceeding 40°C.
Meteorologists attribute the ongoing heat to a combination of weakened sea breezes and sustained hot, dry winds blowing across the region, intensifying overall conditions.
