The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a heatwave alert for Karachi and most areas of Sindh, warning that hot and humid weather will intensify from June 9 to June 11, 2026. The rise in temperatures is being linked to a strong high-pressure system developing in the upper atmosphere, which is expected to push temperatures well above normal across the province.
According to the PMD, Karachi residents can expect increasingly uncomfortable weather conditions over the next few days, with temperatures continuing to rise and humidity remaining high. Heatwave conditions are expected to persist across much of Sindh until June 12.

Karachi Could Reach 42°C
The weather department has forecast temperatures between 39°C and 42°C in Karachi from June 9 to June 12. Although the city is generally cooler than upper Sindh because of its coastal location, high humidity levels are expected to make conditions feel much hotter.
Possibility of Dust Storms
The PMD has also warned that intense heating may trigger isolated dust storms in some plain areas of Sindh. These conditions could reduce visibility and cause temporary disruptions to travel.
Health Precautions Advised
The department has urged the public, particularly children, women and elderly citizens, to take extra care during the heatwave.
Residents have been advised to avoid direct exposure to sunlight between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, stay hydrated and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during the hottest hours of the day.
Advisory for Farmers
Farmers have been asked to plan agricultural activities carefully and ensure proper care of livestock during extreme weather. Adequate water supply, shade and protection for animals are strongly recommended.
Higher Power Consumption Expected
As temperatures continue to rise, electricity demand is expected to increase across the province. Consumers have been encouraged to use electricity responsibly, especially during peak hours.
Water Conservation Encouraged
The PMD has also called for careful use of water as rising temperatures are likely to increase overall demand. Residents are encouraged to avoid wastage and use water wisely.
Authorities Asked to Remain Alert
All relevant authorities have been advised to stay vigilant and take necessary steps to prevent any emergency situation during the ongoing heatwave.
