Pakistan’s meteorological department has released a heat wave alarm from April 26 to April 30, warning of unusually high temperatures over parts of the country, especially in Sindh, southern Punjab and Balochistan.

Temperatures in these regions could rise by up to 5 ° C, with the hottest conditions expected between April 27 and April 30.

In addition, Upper Punjab and Islamabad are expected to see a temperature increase of 4-6 ° C during the same period. Similar temperature tips are predicted in Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

The Met Office said that the extreme heat conditions are likely to ease on May 1, with rain and possible hailstorms expected in the country’s northern areas beginning April 30.

Meanwhile, a severe heat wave continues to grab Punjab, with temperatures sky -high over several cities and no significant relief is expected in the coming days.

In addition, meteorological experts have predicted that there is no probability of rain in Punjab over the next two to three days.

According to updated forecasts, cities including Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, Multan, Sargodha and Sahiwal heights see between 41 ° C and 44 ° C below mostly sunny sky.

Lahore, Faisalabad and Jhelum experience slightly lower temperatures ranging between 39 ° C and 42 ° C, with partially cloudy intervals offering short respite.

Northern cities such as Attock, Chakwal and Rawalpindi report relatively milder heights hovering between 34 ° C and 39 ° C, although sunny magic forms dominate.

Moisture levels remain low, with most areas reporting between 10% and 22%, exacerbating the dry heat and increasing health risks for vulnerable populations.

Meteorologists expect the hot and dry conditions to continue for at least the next three days, with gradual increases probably in some areas.

Sindh also faces a dazzling heat wave, with temperatures in several districts expected to rise as high as 48 ° C this weekend.

Nawabshah and Dadu are expected to detect the highest temperatures and reach up to 48 ° C before Sunday. Mohenjo-Daro, Sukkur and Mithi also experience extreme conditions, with heights between 44 ° C and 47 ° C.

Despite coastal proximity, Thatatta and Karachi are not immune. Karachi’s maximum temperature hovers between 35 ° C and 38 ° C, accompanied by moisture levels approaching 60%, which intensifies discomfort.

Inland cities such as Hyderabad and Mithi face sustained sunshine with little to no cloud cover and raise concerns about long -term heat exposure.

Humidity varies significantly throughout the province, from a high of 58% in Karachi to a low level of 10% in Mohenjo-Daro, creating different but harsh weather profiles.
