Heatwave in Sindh: Relief Expected This Afternoon

Sindh is currently under the grip of a heatwave, with temperatures soaring 6 to 8°C above the usual. However, gusty winds are forecasted to sweep across the region by afternoon, offering some respite to the residents.

The Pakistan Weather Department reports that most parts of the country are under the influence of continental air. An area of high pressure dominates the upper atmosphere, expected to persist for the next couple of days. A shallow westerly disturbance is predicted to impact the northern regions from the evening of May 28.

In light of these conditions, the heatwave is set to continue in most of Sindh on Tuesday, with southern districts experiencing temperatures 6 to 8°C higher than normal. Coastal areas, including Karachi, are likely to witness hot and humid weather. Dust-raising winds are anticipated in Karachi, Thatta, Badin, and Hyderabad during the afternoon, providing a brief relief from the harsh weather.

Karachi’s mercury levels are expected to hover between 35-37°C on Tuesday and 34-36°C on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Hyderabad is set to endure maximum temperatures of 45-47°C on Monday and 46-48°C on Tuesday.

Over the past 24 hours, heatwaves have swept across parts of Sindh. Mohenjo-Daro and Nawabshah bore the brunt of the heat, with temperatures peaking at 52°C. Dadu and Jacobabad followed closely with a high of 51°C, while Khairpur, Larkana, Rohri, and Sukkur touched 50°C, and Padidan recorded 49°C.

In Karachi, the day’s highest temperature was 36°C, with an evening relative humidity of 75%. In contrast, Hyderabad saw a maximum temperature of 44°C, with an evening relative humidity of 62%.
