While extreme heat waves continue to intensify through Pakistan, health professionals and experts have urged citizens to adopt heat -concerned clothing practices to protect themselves from temperatures that should persist throughout the week.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has planned that daytime temperatures in certain parts of the country could reach between 46 ° C and 48 ° C due to a high pressure system developing in the upper atmosphere.
These high temperatures should affect southern Punjab, Sindh and Balutchistan from April 13 to 18, with summits of 46 ° C in Dadu, 45 ° C in Nawabshah and 43 ° C in Hyderabad and Sukkur.
Karachi should also feel warm and humid, with daytime temperatures around 36 ° C. The central cities of Punjab, including Multan, DG Khan and Sargodha, should record temperatures around 40 ° C, while Lahore should reach 37 ° C.
Northern regions, including Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Cashmere and Gilgit-Baltistan, can experience temperatures from 4 ° C to 6 ° C above normal.
In light of extreme weather conditions, experts recommend breathable and light -colored tissue such as cotton and linen as the most suitable clothing to help manage thermal stress.
For men, loose cotton shirts in pale colors such as white, beige and pastels are suggested to reflect sunlight and improve air circulation.
Polos associated with linen pants or light chinos are recommended for those looking for both comfort and a more polite look. Heavier tissues such as denim must be avoided because they trap heat and reduce ventilation.
Women have been advised to continue wearing a traditional lawn fabric – a light cotton material widely used in summer clothes in Pakistan.
Fluid dresses, palazzo pants and high -managed highs made from natural fibers offer necessary ventilation while maintaining cultural modesty.
Accessories such as cotton scarves and muslin dupattas offer additional protection against direct sunlight without adding heat.
Children, who are particularly vulnerable to heat -related diseases, need particular consideration. Experts recommend soft and breathable cotton clothing with tight weaving to help block harmful UV rays.
Long -sleeved shirts and loose pants offer better sun protection than short clothes, and wide -edge hats are encouraged to protect the head, face and ears.
During hot nights, children can benefit from the wearing of minimum clothes, such as layer or light pajamas, with a thin leaf of cotton in place of heavy bedding.
