The weather in Karachi is expected to remain very hot throughout the day, with temperatures predicted to reach up to 39 degrees Celsius, according to the Met Department.
Due to an absence of sea breezes, the residents are experiencing extreme humid conditions.
Currently, the temperature in the city stands at 34 degrees Celsius, but due to the high humidity levels of 66%, the heat intensity feels closer to 40 degrees. The absence of sea breezes has exacerbated the situation, maintaining the intense heat, the Met Department stated.
In the last 24 hours, the minimum temperature recorded was 30.5 degrees Celsius. The Met Office has indicated that the high humidity is contributing to the increased perception of heat.
