Karachi is set to continue experiencing hot and humid weather over the coming days, with daytime temperatures expected to remain in the mid-30s Celsius. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) confirmed there is no immediate risk of a heatwave in the city. Sea breezes will influence the coastal metropolis, helping to stabilize conditions despite rising temperatures across the broader Sindh province.
Forecasts indicate that temperatures in Karachi will hover around 36 to 37°C, accompanied by persistent humidity. While the city is likely to avoid extreme heat, the situation in other parts of Sindh is more severe. Meteorologists warn that a fresh heatwave is likely to affect several districts starting May 15, potentially lasting until May 20 or beyond.
Most areas of Sindh are expected to experience hot to very hot and dry weather, with ongoing heatwave conditions continuing in the central and upper regions of the province in the short term. Interior districts such as Dadu, Shaheed Benazirabad, and Ghotki are forecast to see temperatures ranging between 46°C and 48°C. Similarly, intense heat will persist in Naushahro Feroze, Jacobabad, Larkana, and Sukkur, where residents have already endured prolonged periods of extreme temperatures.
The Met Office noted that the current heatwave in parts of Sindh may ease slightly starting Tuesday; however, another extended spell of high temperatures is expected to develop mid-month. Authorities have urged the public—especially children, women, and the elderly—to take necessary precautions during this period of extreme heat. Citizens are advised to limit exposure to direct sunlight, maintain hydration, and use water resources carefully.
Farmers have been instructed to plan their agricultural activities accordingly and ensure the well-being of their livestock. All relevant departments have been directed to stay alert and implement measures to prevent any adverse incidents during the ongoing and upcoming heatwave conditions.
