Most of the country is anticipated to see hot, dry weather, with certain important regions seeing record-breaking temperatures, according to the Met Department’s forecast.

Islamabad’s weather is expected to stay hot and partly cloudy during the day, with the likelihood of rain in some places in the evening along with wind and thundershowers, according to a meteorological department spokesperson. Temperatures as high as 40 degrees Celsius are predicted for the nation’s capital.

A few locations in the provinces of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), northeast Punjab, and the Potohar region are likely to get rain, which will provide some much-needed reprieve from the heat.

There will be extreme heat in many parts of the country; Dadu and Turbat should have the highest temperature of 46 degrees Celsius. Temperatures in Lahore could reach 42 degrees Celsius, according to the prediction.

In the meantime, Karachi will see mild weather with a minor drop in temperature; 36 degrees Celsius is predicted.

Karachi’s heat wave is becoming stronger every day. Residents may feel as hot as 45 degrees Celsius because of the high humidity levels, which could be uncomfortable and frightening.

The city’s current temperature is 31 degrees Celsius as of Monday morning, with an overnight low of 29 degrees Celsius. The impact of the heat is exacerbated by the air’s current humidity ratio of 78%.

The wind speed is currently 15 km/h, but estimates indicate that it will reach 20 km/h during the course of the day. The city is scorching due to the high humidity and lack of sea breezes, even with the wind.

In light of the predicted high temperatures, locals in the impacted areas are urged to take the appropriate safety measures to stay hydrated and minimise prolonged sun exposure. Public health experts advise individuals to stay inside during the hottest parts of the day and to be cautious of heat-related ailments.

With the help of this new Instagram function, parents will have more control over what their kids do online.

New users between the ages of 13 and 15 will have their Teen Accounts enabled immediately, while current users in the US, UK, Canada, and Australia will be gradually transferred to the new accounts over the course of the following 60 days.

Important characteristics of teen accounts

Teen accounts are by default set to private, which limits the display of their posts to authorized followers and keeps non-followers from getting in touch with them.

Restrictions on Teen Messaging: To minimize unwanted encounters, teens are only able to message people they follow or already have a connection with.

Control of Sensitive Content: Tight settings will prevent exposure to potentially dangerous content, like advertisements for cosmetic procedures or violent content.

Parental Control: Guardians can keep an eye on their offspring’s internet behavior, such as direct messaging and content intake.

Positive Content: By allowing teenagers to research interests, like sports, music, or the arts, they can enhance their online experience.

Extra protection

Reminding teenagers to take breaks after 60 minutes of app use is part of the daily limit.

Sleep mode: To encourage sound sleep habits, automatically mute notifications between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.

Using artificial intelligence to power age verification, underage individuals can be identified and moved to teen accounts.

In yesterday’s 92-run defeat against Markhors, Asif Ali, who is playing for the Dolphins under Saud Shakeel, scored a fast half-century.

Asif stated in an interview with a local news station that he wanted to do well enough throughout the competition to possibly earn a spot back on the national squad.

He also disclosed that, prior to making his international debut, he batted at number four in domestic cricket but was forced to settle for number six. The energetic batter had a new task because of the
in batting order.

Asif stated, “Going from No. 4 to No. 6 is not easy.” “It’s critical to train properly for your position in international cricket. It can be challenging to drop to a lower position at the international level if you’re used to playing higher up the order at home.

He talked candidly about the Dolphins’ defeat against the Markhorses as well, stating that given the pitch conditions, he would not have chosen to field first.

“Batting was challenging because the pitch favored bowlers in the latter parts of the game,” he remarked. Because of the early dampness, the Dolphins’ management decided to field first.

He then on, “If they had asked me, I would have told them to bat first and not fall for that.”

Report: Solar is expected to set new records this year.

In 2023, there was an expected 87% increase in growth. This year’s increase is 29% over the previous one, according to the research.

The cheapest source of electricity globally is solar power, and as such, it is expanding quicker than many anticipated, according to Euan Graham, an Ember electricity data analyst.

Ember estimates demonstrate the rapid growth of solar energy: in 2024 alone, new solar capacity will surpass the 540 GW of additional coal power added globally since 2010.

Expected to add 334 GW, or 56 percent of the global total in 2024, China continues to lead the globe in this industry.

According to the survey, it is followed by the US, India, Germany, and Brazil. These five nations will account for 75% of the new solar capacity in 2024.

According to the research, maintaining the sector’s growth required grid capacity and battery storage.

“Providing enough grid capacity and developing battery storage is critical for handling electricity distribution and supporting solar outside of peak sunlight hours as solar becomes more inexpensive and accessible,” the statement stated.

“Solar power might continue to surpass forecasts for the remainder of the decade if these issues are resolved and development is sustained.”
