Karachi experiences the hottest day of the year

Karachi experienced its hottest day of the year on Sunday, with the mercury hitting a scorching 37 degrees Celsius. 

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) noted that it wasn’t just hot but also very humid, with sea breezes not bringing much relief. Humidity levels soared to 45 percent, making it feel even hotter than the temperature showed.

The temperature in the city shot up to 37 degrees Celsius, which was almost 3 degrees higher than the day before.

The PMD says that hot and dry weather is expected to stick around in Sindh. But don’t worry, there’s no heatwave on the horizon for now, with humidity levels ranging from 10 to 20 percent.

Other parts of Sindh also felt the heat on Sunday. Chhor had the highest temperature at 41 degrees Celsius, followed closely by Shaheed Benazirabad, Mithi, and Mohenjo Daro, all hitting 40 degrees Celsius.

It’s worth mentioning that the upcoming months—May, June, and July—are typically the hottest months in Pakistan.
