Lahore experienced a significant heatwave on Sunday, with temperatures soaring to 40°C, marking a day of intense heat in Pakistan’s bustling second-largest city. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) recorded the humidity level at 39 percent, which contributed to making the already high temperatures feel even more oppressive for residents.
In contrast, Karachi’s weather remained relatively moderate, with the maximum temperature reaching 34.8°C. The coastal city also saw higher humidity levels, measured at 64 percent, which added a muggy feel to the atmosphere. The PMD forecast indicated that Karachi would continue to experience partly cloudy skies throughout the day.
Notably, there is a possibility of light drizzle in some parts of Karachi later on Sunday, offering some relief from the warm conditions. This weather pattern contrasts sharply with the dry and scorching heat gripping Lahore, highlighting the regional climatic variations across Pakistan.
As summer progresses, such temperature fluctuations between inland and coastal cities are common, influenced by geographical and meteorological factors. Residents in Lahore are advised to take precautions against heat-related illnesses, while those in Karachi can expect a relatively milder day with intermittent cloud cover and potential rainfall.
