KARACHI: The Pakistan Meteorological Department has issued a warning about a severe heat wave affecting the city, predicting that temperatures could soar to 37 degrees Celsius.
Residents are advised to prepare for intense heat throughout the day, with the temperatures expected to reach their peak under warm and dry winds blowing from the northwest.
