KARACHI: As citizens continue to reel under scorching high temperatures in the port city, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) Thursday said that the country’s financial hub is likely to witness rains from today.
Karachi has been gripped by extreme heat for the past couple of days with the mercury rising to 42°C, while the “feels-like” temperature exceeded 50°C earlier this week.
There has been a rise in heatstroke cases in the city, with many of them being admitted to different hospitals in the last few days.
The absence of green space and growing urbanization are two major elements influencing Karachi’s current weather, both of which badly impact the city’s climate.
But in the afternoon or evening of today, rain is possible in the suburbs of the city as well as in other places, according to the Met Office.
For the next twenty-four hours, the city is expected to see hot and muggy weather with temperatures expected to stay between 36°C and 38°C.
