Severe heat has engulfed many parts of Pakistan, with temperatures rising sharply across the country. According to the Meteorological Department, the Cholistan Desert is experiencing extreme heat, where temperatures are reaching up to 48 degrees Celsius. Locals report that water reserves have dried up, causing serious problems for livestock.
The intense heat has led to the death of many animals in desert areas. People living there say the harsh conditions and drying wells are forcing them to migrate. In addition, Lahore recorded temperatures of 44°C, but it felt as high as 47°C due to the heatwave.
Other regions also face high temperatures: Quetta at 31°C, Gwadar at 31°C, Loralai at 36°C, Khuzdar at 38°C, Turbat at 42°C, and Sibi at 46°C. The heat is causing discomfort and hardship for residents in these areas.
Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has warned that southern Punjab will continue to experience a severe heatwave for the next two days. Authorities urge people to take precautions and stay hydrated during this intense heat.
This heatwave highlights the urgent need for water conservation and support for affected communities, especially in desert regions suffering from drought and extreme temperatures.
