Karachi: The people of Karachi challenged another hot day when Mercury rose to 40.5 degrees Celsius in some parts of the city on Friday under the influence of a low pressure area that currently prevails over Rajasthan, India.
According to the MET Department data, the maximum temperature in Gulistan-I-Jauhar was 40.5 ° C and 39.5 ° C at the Jinnah terminal. The two areas were hotter than the rest of the city.
The average temperature of the city was 39.4 ° C, which is 4.4 ° C higher than the average temperature recorded in April.
Mithi was the hottest place in Sindh, where the maximum temperature was 42.5 ° C, followed by 41 ° C in Chhor and 39 ° C in Thatta.
“The current climatic conditions influenced by low pressure on west Rajasthan are quite normal in April. Karachi’s minimum temperature is also expected to increase,” said meteorologist Anjum Nazeer Zaigham.
It is likely that hot conditions decrease next week when a western disturbance is likely to affect the upper parts of the country, he added.
