Karachi endures intense heat as temperatures reach 37 degrees Celsius

Karachi is currently experiencing intense heat, with the Meteorological Department predicting temperatures to reach 37 degrees Celsius.

The heat index is expected to feel as high as 45 degrees, making conditions particularly uncomfortable for residents.

Sea breezes are anticipated to resume within the next 24 hours, blowing at speeds between 10 to 25 kilometers per hour. However, high humidity levels will make the heat feel more intense.

Furthermore, the department has indicated that temperatures are anticipated to rise even more starting May 20, which is likely to exacerbate the already high levels of discomfort in the city.
