The Meteorological Department has issued a warning indicating the likelihood of a heat wave hitting Karachi from May 29 to 31.

Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz highlighted that today, the city will experience scorching temperatures ranging between 40 and 42 degrees Celsius.

Beyond Karachi, several districts in Sindh, including Qamber Shahdadkot, Larkana, Shikarpur, and Jacobabad, are anticipated to face temperatures 6 to 8 degrees higher than usual. Additionally, areas like Khairpur, Sanghar, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, and Tharparkar may see temperatures elevated by 4 to 6 degrees Celsius.

Sarfaraz cautioned that the heat’s intensity is expected to peak on May 29 and 30. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions to mitigate heat-related ailments during this period of extreme temperatures.
