On Sunday, the conditions of heat waves seized several districts in southern Pakistan, temperatures increasingly increasing in Hyderabad, Nawabshah, Larkana and Dadu of the Sindh.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has planned serious heat waves in most regions of the country from Monday, temperatures should climb up to 46 to 48 degrees Celsius in the Sindh.
A high pressure system should develop on the upper atmosphere from Sunday, triggering excessive heat through the southern half of the country, including the Sindh, southern Punjab and Balutchistan, until April 18.
Diurnal temperatures in these areas should remain 6 to 8 degrees Celsius above normal. Meanwhile, the central and northern parts of the country – including Punjab, Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Cashmere and Gilgit -Baltistan – will see temperatures of 4 to 6 degrees above normal during the same period.
The nights should also remain unusually hot.
The Met Office warned that the heat could trigger dust storms and wind storms. The authorities advised the public, in particular children, women and the elderly, to avoid exposure to direct sunlight, to stay inside during peak hours and to remain hydrated.
Scientists have linked the early arrival of intense summer conditions in South Asia to climate change, warning that more than a billion people in the region run heat -related impacts.
