Heat worsens over Punjab as temperature to hit 42C
LAHORE: A stretch of dry and severe heat has gripped Lahore and other areas of Punjab. The mercury has been soaring high indicating the onset of another round of hot weather in the state.
The Met Department Pakistan says Lahore is about 32 degrees Celsius. The day’s minimum temperature will be 26C and the maximum will be 41C.
Weather experts expect the heat will intensify over the following several days and warmer nights will add to the misery. Minimum temperatures might rise from 26 degrees Celsius to around 28 degrees Celsius, which will boost humidity and make the weather feel much hotter.
Temperatures are anticipated to reach 42C by tomorrow, the Met Office said, with the heat continuing to develop steadily over the next one to two days.
Citizens have been advised to avoid direct sunlight as much as possible, drink more water and take precautionary measures to protect themselves from heat wave conditions.
