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.
