KARACHI: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned that Karachi is likely to experience a rise in heat intensity starting Sunday, with heatwave-like conditions expected to develop between April 20 and 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Met Office, the anticipated rise in temperatures is because of a shift in the direction of the wind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has also cautioned that similar heatwave-like conditions could return to other parts of Sindh from April 24 onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The weather in Karachi is forecast to remain hot and humid over the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The maximum temperature in the city is expected to range between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature was recorded at 26.5 \u00b0C. Humidity levels stand at 77%, contributing to the discomfort felt across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strong winds are also likely to blow intermittently during this period, though sea breezes are continuing at a moderate pace of 12 kilometres per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The forecast comes after PMD spokesperson Anjum Nazir, last week, said that Karachi was expected to witness a heatwave at the end of the ongoing month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With temperatures expected to remain above average between April and June, he said that heatwave-like conditions will persist in South Punjab and parts of Sindh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The PMD has already warned that excessive heat may also result in dust storms and windstorms, potentially damaging vulnerable infrastructure such as electric poles, trees, vehicles, and solar panels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The general public, particularly children, women, and senior citizens, are advised to avoid direct exposure to the sun and remain well-hydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, hinting at improving weather conditions in other parts of the country, the Met Office said that a westerly wind system may affect the upper parts of the country, which might result in rain and hail in the upper parts of the country till April 20. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
