Meteorologists have warned that humidity levels will remain between 70% and 80%, significantly increasing the discomfort index.
Due to the high moisture content in the air, the temperature is likely to feel 4 to 6 degrees higher than the actual reading.
The PMD forecasts daytime temperatures to hover around 35°C, but the ‘feels-like’ temperature may reach up to 40°C in Karachi, posing potential health risks, especially for the elderly, children, and outdoor workers.
Authorities have urged residents to take necessary precautions, stay hydrated, avoid direct sunlight during peak hours, and limit outdoor activities to minimize the effects of heat-related illnesses.
