With temperatures predicted to reach to 44 degrees Celsius on Monday, Lahore will likely see another heatwave. This would likely result in an increase in heatstroke cases and public unrest over the ongoing power outage.

There have been reports of 43 cases of heatstroke at different hospitals throughout the city in the last 24 hours. Eight have been admitted to Mayo Hospital, 25 have been treated at General Hospital, and 10 cases have been seen at Ganga Ram Hospital.

Specialists in medicine are advising locals to avoid needless sun exposure during the hottest parts of the day, remain inside, and drink plenty of water.

Concerns over a narrowing supply-demand gap are compounding the city’s problems; Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) is experiencing five to six hours of load shedding in the city. Residents’ anger at the protracted power outages in the intense heat has resulted in civil unrest as a result of this.

Although the heatwave and power outages persist, there is a ray of optimism because the Met Department has predicted a possibility of rain later this week, which could provide much-needed relief to the struggling citizens of Lahore.

The Met Department has predicted a drop in heat intensity this week, so inhabitants of Karachi could soon get reprieve. Sea breezes are bringing much-needed relief from the partly overcast weather that is currently plaguing the city.

With 22 miles per hour of wind coming from the southwest, the temperature is being moderated. However, the highest temperature of up to 36 degrees Celsius is still anticipated.

As of right now, the Met Department is predicting more heat and humidity in the coming day or two. The incredible heat that has been engulfing the city in recent days is anticipated to progressively lessen when sea breezes return.
