Karachi Weather 40 Degrees Today: Heatwave Alert

Karachi is in the grip of a scorching heatwave today as temperatures soar to 40 degrees Celsius, with the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) issuing warnings for residents to take precautions. The city experienced a high of 36°C on Monday, setting the stage for even hotter weather ahead.

The current weather pattern is influenced by continental air from the western region, bringing with it wind speeds of 14km per hour and humidity levels around 67%. As the day progresses, the ‘feels like’ temperature is projected to reach a blistering 42°C.

Weather experts predict that Karachi will continue to experience high temperatures throughout the week, ranging from 35°C to 37°C, potentially hitting 40°C by the weekend. The prevailing winds are expected to be light, coming from the west to southwest, with humidity levels varying between 40% to 50% during the day and peaking at 80% during nighttime hours.

Residents are advised to prepare for sustained heat, with minor fluctuations, until the onset of monsoon rains. While most regions in the country are experiencing dry conditions due to continental air masses, isolated areas in Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) may see partly cloudy skies with occasional light rain or thunderstorms.

Today, plains areas are witnessing a gradual increase in daytime temperatures, similar to Monday’s trend. Notably, Sindh is facing the brunt of the heat, with cities like Jacobabad reaching scorching temperatures of 46°C, followed closely by Mohenjo Daro and Dadu at 45°C.

In light of these conditions, Karachiites are urged to take necessary precautions such as staying hydrated, seeking shade, and minimizing outdoor activities during peak sunlight hours to stay safe during this heatwave.
