The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a warning that the ongoing severe heatwave will persist across the country through June 21. With temperatures expected to remain dangerously high, the risk to vulnerable populations continues to grow, especially in regions already struggling with extreme weather.
Scorching conditions are forecast for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the plains of Punjab, while upper and central Sindh, along with southern and eastern Balochistan, will also face relentless daytime heat. Authorities have urged residents to stay indoors during peak hours, remain hydrated, and follow official heat-stroke advisories.
