KARACHI: Karachi has recorded its second hottest night of 2024 with the temperature recorded at 32°C as the residents of the metropolis sweltering due to high temperatures.
The normal temperature in the city in July, as per the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), is 27.9°C and Tuesday night was the second hottest of this year after July 1 — when the temperature was also 32°C .
Last week, the Met Office has said that the mercury is expected to rise in the next two to three days with temperatures of up to 37°C to 38°C.
However, it had ruled out out another heatwave in the megalopolis.
Furthermore, with the sea breeze coming to a halt, Karachi is expected to witness hot and humid weather with maximum expected temperature reaching 37°C to 39°C in the next 24 hours.
Nevertheless, there might be some relief for Karachiites after all as the PMD has forecast heavy rain and thunderstorms in the city’s suburbs today.
