Karachi continues to face hot and humid conditions, where the mercury is expected to reach nearly 36°C. Weather officials said most parts of Sindh remain under the influence of a prolonged hot and dry spell, with intense heat affecting multiple regions.
Medical experts have urged the public to take precautionary measures during the extreme weather. Citizens have been advised to stay indoors during peak daytime hours, avoid unnecessary exposure to direct sunlight, and maintain hydration by consuming plenty of water and other fluids.
