The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said on Saturday that most parts of Sindh, including Karachi, will remain in the grip of a heatwave till May 20 due to sustained high atmospheric pressure over the region.
According to the Met Office, several districts across Sindh will record temperatures significantly above normal. In Dadu, Shaheed Benazirabad, and Naushahro Feroze, temperatures are expected to remain 5 to 7°C higher than average.
Similar deviations are expected in Jacobabad, Sukkur, and surrounding areas, where the mercury may also stay 5 to 7°C above seasonal norms.
Meanwhile, temperatures in Badin, Tharparkar, Umerkot, and Hyderabad are forecast to remain 3 to 5°C above normal levels during this period.
In Karachi, the weather will remain hot and humid over the next three days, with daytime temperatures likely ranging between 35 and 37°C.
The Met Office has cautioned that due to elevated humidity, the feel-like temperature will be higher than recorded values.
