Numerous city residents have been hospitalized for heat-related illnesses as a result of the prolonged heat wave, which has caused havoc around the city. Animals and birds have also been impacted by the extreme heat, with many displaying symptoms of discomfort. Even after the Lahore Electric Supply Company’s (LESCO) shortfall has been resolved, load shedding persists, adding to the misery of the citizens. The problem has been made worse by widespread power outages caused by technical issues in both new and old transformers.

Not only is Lahore suffering from intense heat, but a large portion of the nation is still plagued by it. Mohenjodaro recorded the hottest temperature in the country over the last 24 hours, a scorching 53 degrees Celsius.

According to Met Department forecasts, the majority of plain areas will continue to experience extreme heat over the next two days. In the afternoon, however, dusty winds and thunderstorms are predicted to provide a little but insufficient respite.

Summary of the nation’s heat waves
Islamabad: Extremely hot weather is anticipated, with daytime highs of three to five degrees above usual.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa: Daytime highs of 4 to 6 degrees above average are anticipated in this area as well.
Punjab: With temperatures predicted to be 6 to 8 degrees above average, the majority of the province’s plains will continue to experience a heat wave.
It is anticipated that the weather in Murree and Galiyat would be dry.
Balochistan: Most districts are expected to have hot weather.
Sindh: The coastal belt will stay hot and muggy while the upper districts experience a severe heat wave with temperatures 6 to 8 degrees above average.

Authorities advise people to drink plenty of water, shield themselves from the sun, and take extra care of those who are more vulnerable, such the young and old. Immediate infrastructure improvements are required to lessen the impact of the unrelenting heat because of the continual power outages caused by transformer breakdowns.

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.”
