According to meteorological reports, the city is expected to experience extreme temperatures that might surpass previous records for this year.

The heatwave is anticipated to peak next week, bringing intense heat and posing significant challenges for residents. Experts are advising citizens to take necessary precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses. This includes staying hydrated, avoiding unnecessary outdoor activities, and using protective measures against the sun.

Local authorities are also preparing to respond to the situation by ensuring that cooling centers and medical facilities are ready to assist those affected by the heat. Public awareness campaigns are being launched to inform residents about the dangers of extreme heat and the steps they can take to stay safe.

Meteorologists attribute this upcoming heatwave to a combination of climatic factors, including high-pressure systems and reduced wind flow, trapping the region's heat. The situation is exacerbated by Karachi's urban landscape, which tends to retain heat, making the city particularly vulnerable to high temperatures.

As Karachi braces for what could be the hottest week of the year, the community is urged to remain vigilant and proactive in safeguarding their health and well-being during this extreme weather event.
