Weather experts forecast that the current heatwave will get stronger, therefore the nation is on high alert. Even though the current heat wave is predicted to linger for several more days, residents are advised to get ready for another intense heat wave.

The head of Pakistan’s meteorological service, Mahr Sahibzad Khan, said that Sindh, Punjab, and Islamabad would probably see even higher temperatures. The temperature may reach an extraordinary 50 degrees Celsius in several areas, including Mohenjodaro, Jacobabad, Thatta, Benazirabad, and Nawabshah.

In the same way, regions of Punjab that are today 46 degrees Celsius can get 48 or 49 degrees Celsius. At 41 degrees now, Islamabad might reach 43 or 44 degrees.

extended prediction of a heat wave
Predictions suggest that a third heat wave could occur in June, making this one the nation’s second active spell. Noting that smaller towns and cities can encounter even more extreme conditions, Khan emphasised the heat wave’s micro-effects.

Rain or shine, cities or villages, meteorologists advise that everyone take precautions. “The temperature is likely to rise further in Sindh, Punjab, and Islamabad,” Khan warned. “In some areas, the temperature may reach 50 degrees.”

Historical background
The intense heat waves of May 28, 2017, when Turbat recorded a scorching 54 degrees Celsius—the hottest temperature in Pakistani history—make us think about the worst possible heat wave. Forecasters have recommended that everyone take precautions, in both urban and rural regions, in light of the current conditions.

Warning:
The advice given to residents is to stay hydrated, stay inside during peak hours, and maintain a cool environment in their homes. More measures to lessen the negative impact of the heat wave on vulnerable groups are anticipated from local authorities.
