The Karachi is currently facing extreme weather as a severe Heatwave grips the city. Temperatures have surged to 44°C, making conditions difficult for residents.
According to reports, the temperature reached 44°C around 2pm. At the same time, humidity levels dropped to just 8 percent. This combination has increased the risk of heatstroke across the city.

Hot northwesterly winds are also adding to the problem. These winds are blowing at around 15 km/h. Instead of cooling the air, they are making the weather feel hotter and more uncomfortable.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department has issued an advisory for the public. It warned that the ongoing Heatwave could pose serious health risks. Citizens have been advised to take precautionary measures.
People are being urged to avoid unnecessary outdoor exposure during peak hours. Drinking plenty of water is strongly recommended. Wearing light clothing and staying in shaded areas can also help reduce heat-related risks.
Medical experts have warned about the dangers of heatstroke. Symptoms include dizziness, weakness, and dehydration. Vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly are at higher risk.
Residents have reported that daily routines have been affected. Many people are adjusting their schedules to avoid the hottest part of the day. Businesses are also taking steps to ensure employee safety.
