Karachi is expected to witness severe heat on Saturday. Weather experts warn that the city could record one of its hottest days of the season. Consequently, Karachi braces for intense heat as real feel temperatures climb dangerously high. The heat remained intense on Friday as well, when the real feel temperature reached 49°C. The discomfort continued into the night due to still air and persistent humidity. Residents endured muggy conditions throughout the evening.

Experts say the actual temperature in the city may rise to 39°C today. Suburban areas could touch 40°C. However, low wind speeds combined with high humidity will make conditions feel far hotter. Therefore, Karachi braces for intense heat especially during afternoon peak hours. The heat index is expected to range between 49°C and 50°C. This increases the risk of heat related illness and discomfort for residents across the city.

A slight improvement in weather conditions is possible by evening. Sea breezes may return and provide some relief. Nevertheless, Karachi braces for intense heat as humidity may build up again later in the night. Winds could weaken once more, trapping heat and moisture. Experts caution that the mix of high temperatures and excessive moisture in the air creates dangerous conditions for outdoor activities.

Citizens should take precautionary measures immediately. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Special care is urged for children and the elderly. They are most vulnerable to the harmful effects of extreme heat. Stay indoors during peak afternoon hours if possible.
