A statement issued on Sunday by the Met agency stated that Karachi is anticipated to experience a heatwave that will begin today and last until Wednesday, April 23.
The afternoon temperature is expected to reach 41 degrees Celsius, which is about 4-6 degrees Celsius higher than the average. A statement issued today by the Met department reads, “Due to heatwave conditions in Karachi, the general population, especially children, women, and elderly citizens are recommended to take cautious precautions.” The guidance can be obtained on Dawn.com.
“Stay hydrated and avoid direct sunlight during the day.” The advice says that the majority of the province will have dry, hot, or very hot weather. On Sunday, temperatures ranged from 25°C to 39°C, with winds shifting from the north-northwest to the west-southwest. In Sindhi cities, daily life is impacted by a weeklong heatwave and prolonged power outages.
Due to Sindh’s heatwave, which has been going on for about a week, and prolonged power outages, heatstroke and gastroenteritis are on the rise in several districts and towns. Despite the fact that the Sindh health administration downplayed the increase in cases, numerous patients from various towns in the districts of Shaheed Benazirabad, Sanghar, and Naushahro Feroze have been reported to hospitals in their respective locations.
The average temperature in central and upper Sindh in April was 45 degrees Celsius, making it the warmest month on record. However, Shaheed Benazirabad’s temperature reached 49 degrees Celsius on Thursday, making it unbearable for residents, particularly the young and elderly.
On Saturday, it was 45°C in Jacobabad, making it the nation’s warmest city. Sukkur, Hyderabad, and Nawabshah were the next with 43°C, followed by Dadu, Padidan, Mithi, and Mohenjo Daro. Thatta recorded temperatures of 36°C, while Karachi recorded temperatures of 37°C.
