Extreme Heat Warning for Upper Sindh
While Karachi is expected to experience elevated but manageable heat levels, the PMD has warned of severe heatwave conditions across interior Sindh during the forecast period.
The heatwave is likely to subside by tomorrow in several areas, but duststorm and thunderstorm activity, along with light rain, may occur at isolated places in Kashmore, Shikarpur, Ghotki, Jamshoro, Dadu, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Tando Allayar, Khairpur, Umerkot, and Tharparker district today and tomorrow.
On Sunday, June 14, duststorm or thunderstorm activity with light rain may also occur at isolated places in Dadu, Qambar Shahdadkot, Larkana, Nosheroferoz, Shaheed Benazirabad, and Khairpur.
Strong windstorms may also damage weak structures such as solar panels, electric poles, and billboards in affected areas.
Karachi’s Relative Moderation
Compared to the scorching conditions forecast for interior Sindh, Karachi is expected to experience relatively more moderate temperatures over the next three days, with maximum readings staying in the upper 30s.

However, the combination of elevated temperatures and persistently high humidity levels will continue to make conditions feel significantly hotter than the recorded readings suggest, and residents should not underestimate the heat impact.
Public Health Advisory Issued
The PMD has advised citizens, particularly children, women, and senior citizens, to exercise extra caution throughout the forecast period.
Residents are urged to avoid unnecessary exposure to direct sunlight between 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM PST, stay well hydrated, wear light and breathable clothing, and limit outdoor activity during peak daytime hours.
Farmer Guidance for Prevailing Conditions
Farmers across the region are advised to manage their crop activities carefully, keeping the prevailing weather conditions in view. Livestock must also be appropriately cared for and shielded from the heat to minimise losses during this period.
Water Conservation Requested
With hot and dry conditions persisting across much of the province, citizens are requested to use water judiciously in all aspects of daily life and avoid unnecessary wastage during the ongoing spell of elevated temperatures.
Electricity Demand Expected to Rise
Authorities have noted that electricity consumption is likely to increase during the forecast period due to greater use of cooling systems. The public is encouraged to use electricity responsibly and minimise non-essential usage during peak hours to help ease pressure on the grid.
Vigilance Advised for All Authorities
The PMD has advised all concerned authorities to remain alert and take necessary precautionary measures to deal with any heat or storm-related emergencies that may arise during the forecast period.
Weather data for this report has been obtained from the official website of the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).
