Humidity dropped to as low as 7 per cent in the provincial capital under the influence of extremely dry and warm winds from the country’s plains, with the “feels like” temperature reaching 48°C.
However, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department’s (PMD) warning, the temperature in the metropolis can rise by another degree at any time between Monday and Wednesday.
“Heat is concentrated at Karachi at the moment, and today the mercury soared to 44°C, but we are expecting it to hit 45°C during the next three days, as sea breeze is completely cut off due to small low pressure areas in the Arabian Sea”.
This is the third heatwave in Karachi so far this year, and the second time this month when the temperature reached 44°C. Previously, on May 3, the metropolis had braved similar hot and dry conditions due to suspension of sea breeze that keeps the city’s weather moderate and pleasant despite intense climate in the country’s plain areas.
