Karachi Braces for Heatwave as Temperature Set to Soar to 38°C, Feels Like 42°C

Karachi, Pakistan:The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a heatwave alert for Karachi, warning residents of soaring temperatures in the coming days. The mercury is expected to rise to 38°C, with the “feels like” temperature reaching as high as 42°C due to high humidity levels.

As of today, Karachi recorded a temperature of 33°C with humidity at 60%, intensifying the overall heat sensation across the city. Meteorologists say the weakening of sea breeze is contributing to the rising discomfort and may lead to sweltering conditions, especially during the afternoon hours.

Weather experts have cautioned that the combination of high temperature and humidity could lead to severe heat and muggy conditions, urging citizens to take necessary precautions.

Authorities have advised Karachi residents to stay indoors unless absolutely necessary, stay well-hydrated, and use protective measures such as hats or umbrellas when stepping out to prevent heatstroke.

The city has a history of heat-related health incidents, and officials are stressing preventive care to avoid repeat situations, especially among vulnerable populations.
