Very hot weather for Sindh today
KARACHI: The well-marked low pressure area over East-Central Arabian Sea has intensified into depression, looming about 1,058km southeast of Karachi shorelines, the Met Office said on Saturday.
The weather depression, which is centred on latitude 17.1 N and longitude 73.0 E, is likely to move eastwards and cross Indian coast near Konkan around mid-day. Currently, there is no threat to any Pakistani coastal area. This is the last watch in this regard.

Severe heatwave expected during Eid
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a severe heatwave warning across most parts of the country during the upcoming Eidul Azha holidays and the following week. According to the Met Office, a high-pressure system is expected to develop over the country on June 07, which will grip most regions from June 08 onwards, significantly increasing day temperatures. Daytime temperatures are expected to rise 5-7C above normal in the upper half of the country, including central and upper Punjab, Islamabad, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan from June 7-12. In the southern half, covering upper and central Sindh, southern Punjab, and parts of Balochistan, temperatures are likely to remain 4-6C above normal during the same period. Dust storms and gusty winds are also anticipated over the plains due to excessive surface heating. The Met Office has urged the general public, especially children, elderly, and women, to avoid prolonged sun exposure and stay well-hydrated. The citizens are advised to take all precautionary measures to prevent heat-related illnesses. Rising temperatures in the northern areas could accelerate the snowmelt rate, potentially affecting water flows in rivers. The authorities have urged the judicious use of water and requested farmers to plan their crop activities in line with the forecast. All concerned departments have been advised to stay alert and take necessary actions to mitigate risks during this severe weather spell.
