KARACHI: While Karachiites heaved a sigh of relief from the soaring temperatures, a heatwave gripped the upper and central parts of Sindh, with the mercury crossing 46 degrees Celsius in five cities on Monday.<\/p>\n
According to the Met department\u2019s data, the highest temperature (46.5\u00b0C) was recorded in the cities of Mohenjo Daro, Shaheed Benazirabad, Paddidan and Dadu; followed by Khairpur (46\u00b0C), Larkana and Rohri (45.5\u00b0C); Sakrand (45\u00b0C); Mithi and Sukkur (44.5\u00b0C); Hyderabad (43.5\u00b0C); Tandojam (43\u00b0C); Chhor (42\u00b0C); Mirpurkhas (41\u00b0C), Badin (39\u00b0C) and Thatta (38\u00b0C).<\/p>\n
However, Karachi had somewhat pleasant weather on Monday with temperature dropping to 36\u00b0C from 40\u00b0C recorded a day earlier, providing some respite to citizens, who had been enduring sizzling weather conditions for the past few days.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe low pressure area causing intensely hot conditions in the region now lies over upper Sindh, parts of Balochistan, southern Punjab and Rajasthan,\u201d meteorologist Anjum Nazeer Zaigham explained.<\/p>\n
Karachi and some other coastal areas were faring better due to high wind pressure, he added.<\/p>\n
According to Mr Zaigham, the heatwave is expected to persist in Sindh for a few more days and that parts of upper Sindh are likely to see windstorm\/light showers on April 10\/11 under the influence of a shallow westerly wave entering the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cHigh temperature is likely to subside and then rise again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to the Met department\u2019s advisory, day-time temperatures are likely to be 5-7\u00b0C above normal in most parts of Sindh on Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Hot and humid weather is likely to prevail in Karachi with maximum temperature ranging between 35-37\u00b0C on Tuesday (today) and 36-38\u00b0C on Wednesday (tomorrow). The minimum temperature is likely to range between 25-27\u00b0C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
