Heatwave intensifies but KE says there will be no load-shedding

KARACHI: Heatwave has intensified in Karachi, with temperatures reaching 40°C, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department, and the feel-like temperature hitting 46°C.

Officials said high humidity levels were making conditions feel significantly hotter than the actual temperature, increasing discomfort for residents.

The Met Office added that sea breezes were currently blowing at a slow pace, contributing to the hot and humid weather across the city.

K-Electric (KE) has promised no loadshedding during hot weather as the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has issued a heat wave alert in Karachi and advised taking all necessary remedial actions to minimise the impact of heat wave conditions.
