PMD warns of extreme heatwave conditions across Sindh

A severe heatwave is expected to continue across most districts of Sindh until May 31, according to the reports today.

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned that the temperatures can rise up to 50 degrees Celsius in several areas.

The weather department said moderate to strong heatwave conditions will continue across the province.

Authorities have been asked to stay alert and take safety steps to prevent heat related problems.

Sindh weather

In upper Sindh, cities like Sukkur, Larkana, Dadu, and Nawabshah can face extreme heat. Temperatures are expected to stay between 47°C and 50°C.

Other cities like Mohenjo Daro, Shikarpur, Jacobabad, and Khairpur may also experience very hot weather.

Temperatures are expected to remain 4°C to 6°C above normal. This increases the risk of heatstroke and dehydration.

The PMD has advised people to avoid going outside during the hottest hours of the day.

It also asked people to drink more water, wear light clothes, and take care of children, elderly people, and outdoor workers.
