PMD warns of scorching weather in Karachi
KARACHI: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) on Wednesday warned of scorching weather ahead, forecasting hot to very hot and dry conditions for Karachi through Thursday and Friday.
With daytime temperatures expected to hover between 39 Celsius and 41 Celsius, the city is bracing for an intense heatwave that could pose serious health risks.
According to the PMD, Thursday will bring dry and windy conditions, with morning humidity levels between 60 percent and 70 percent plummeting to as low as 25 percent by evening. The heat is expected to persist on Friday, with humidity slightly higher in the evening at 35 percent to 45 percent, offering only marginal relief.
Westerly winds will blow across the city during this period, contributing to the dry spell and compounding the discomfort caused by soaring temperatures and fluctuating humidity.

Tremors in Karachi cause considerable disruptions
KARACHI: A series of low-magnitude earthquakes shook Karachi on Sunday and Monday, sparking widespread concern among residents in the city's eastern and southeastern districts. The tremors, which occurred in quick succession, led to the evacuation of homes, disruption of industrial activities, and heightened public anxiety across several neighbourhoods. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) recorded six seismic events over the two-day period. The first quake struck on Sunday, June 1, at 5:33 PM with a magnitude of 3.6 and a depth of 10 kilometres, centred near Quaidabad. On Monday, June 2, five additional quakes followed, ranging between magnitudes 2.2 and 3.2. Epicentres were reported near Quaidabad, Gadap Town, and southeast of Malir, with depths varying from 10 to 188 kilometres. Tremors were felt in Landhi, Malir, Shah Faisal Colony, Korangi, Bhains Colony, Shah Latif Town, and surrounding areas. In multiple neighbourhoods, residents fled their homes, some reciting prayers in fear of aftershocks. In Majeed Colony and Muzaffarabad Colony, back-to-back tremors within a 10-minute span led to public announcements from mosques urging calm. In the industrial zone of Landhi, textile and manufacturing units declared emergency leave and suspended operations. Factory owners cited safety concerns amid ongoing seismic activity, advising workers to return home and remain cautious. The decision was praised by civic groups, though it highlighted the deep unease felt throughout the city. Speaking to the media, Chief Meteorologist Karachi, Amir Hyder Laghari offered insight into the nature of the tremors: 'When a local fault becomes seismically active, it releases built-up tectonic stress in the form of frequent, low-magnitude tremors. The more energy it releases over time, the lower the likelihood of larger, sudden earthquakes.' He elaborated on the geological behaviour of Karachi's fault line, stating: 'The fault system in Karachi gradually accumulates energy, and when this energy is released, we observe a series of quakes of varying magnitudes. Typically, minor tremors subside within a couple of days, whereas stronger quakes can take longer to stabilize.' Addressing concerns about potential major quakes, Laghari reassured the public: 'Historically, Karachi's fault line has never produced large-scale earthquakes. The region primarily experiences minor seismic activity due to its strike-slip tectonic setting involving the Indian, Arabian, and Eurasian plates. This configuration generally does not generate destructive quakes in the Karachi region.' However, he warned that areas outside Karachi—particularly along the Makran Subduction Zone in coastal Balochistan—present more serious risks: 'The Balochistan offshore fault lies along the boundary of the Eurasian and Arabian plates and is part of a subduction zone. This geological structure poses a higher risk, including the potential to generate tsunamigenic earthquakes. Since the major Makran earthquake of 1945, no large events have occurred in the region, though its tectonic nature suggests it remains capable of future seismic activity.' In affected localities, such as Khokhrapar, Future Morr, Gul Ahmed, Hospital Chowrangi, and Saudabad, residents are now calling for clearer safety protocols and better early-warning systems. As PMD continues to monitor seismic behaviour, the people of Karachi remain alert, hoping the ground beneath them settles soon. Copyright Business Recorder, 2025

Minor tremors create panic
A series of mild earthquakes rattled Karachi on Sunday, with the strongest tremor recorded at 3.6 magnitude on the Richter scale. People in affected areas cited at least six aftershocks following the mild shaker on Sunday. According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department's Seismic Monitoring Centre, the epicenter was near Quaidabad, and the quake occurred at a depth of 10 kilometres at 5:33pm on Sunday. This marks the second tremor in Karachi this year, following a 4.7 magnitude quake on March 31. Later at night, aftershocks were felt across several neighbourhoods, including Malir, Landhi, Shah Faisal Colony, Korangi, and Jafar Tayyar Society. The second tremor, recorded at 1:03am, had a magnitude of 3.2 with a depth of 12 kilometres, and its epicenter was near Gadap Town. A third round of tremors was reported in areas such as Quaidabad and Malir. The repeated shocks sent residents fleeing their homes, reciting prayers such as the Kalima and Durood Sharif, and staying outdoors in fear. Some homes reportedly suffered minor structural damage, including cracks in walls. No injuries or major damage were reported, but fear and uncertainty spread across the city. Many people said they rushed out of their homes when the beds started shaking and windows rattling. Adding fuel to the fire, so called experts took to the social media with details of fault lines of the city and chances of a big earthquake. One social media influencer went as far as claiming that excess drawing of groundwater has caused the fault lines to move and Malir and the city was about to experience a huge earthquake. The fact remains that Karachi lies 150km away from the junction of three tectonic plates in the sea making it vulnerable to an earthquake and tsunami. Expert insight Associate Professor and Geologist at the University of Karachi Dr Adnan Khan told Express Tribune that these tremors were minor and not a cause for alarm. He explained that Karachi lies on a passive margin, far from any major fault lines, which makes large, destructive earthquakes highly unlikely. "These tremors are classified as 'mild tremors', resulting from minor tectonic movements and stress build-up deep in the Earth's crust," Dr Khan said. He added that Himalayan tectonic activity, which shifts the mountain range northward by four to five cm each year, causes distant pressure that can trigger such minor events. He also noted that human activities, such as industrial waste burning and excessive groundwater extraction, can subtly alter the Earth's structure, potentially influencing seismic behaviour. Dr Khan advised citizens to remain calm during mild tremors and to follow standard precautions - to leave buildings immediately and move to open areas, staying away from foundations or tall structures. Official response Commissioner Karachi Syed Hassan Naqvi urged residents to stay calm and not believe in rumours circulating on social media. He confirmed that he had consulted Chief Meteorologist Ameer Haider Laghari, who assured him the tremors were not dangerous, although minor activity could continue for the next seven days. He emphasised that earthquakes can not be predicted with certainty. Affected areas included Quaidabad, Malir, Saudabad, Gulistan-e-Jauhar, Khokhrapar, Steel Town, Landhi, Korangi, Shah Latif Town and Bhains Colony. Residents reported fleeing their homes during the shocks, engaging in prayer, and staying outdoors until the tremors passed.

Pilgrims come together in Makkah under scorching desert heat
MAKKAH: More than a million Muslim pilgrims poured into the holy city of Makkah ahead of the annual hajj, with authorities vowing to hold a safer pilgrimage amid searing desert heat and a massive crackdown on illegal visitors. Temperatures were forecast to exceed 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) this week as one of the world's largest annual religious gatherings officially commences on Wednesday. The hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, must be performed at least once by all Muslims with the means. As of Friday, more than 1.3 million pilgrims had arrived in Saudi Arabia for the multi-day pilgrimage, according to officials. This year, authorities have mobilised more than 40 government agencies and 250,000 officials, doubling their efforts to mitigate heat-related risks following a lethal heatwave in 2024 that left hundreds dead. Shaded areas have been expanded by 50,000 square metres (12 acres), thousands more medics will be on standby, and more than 400 cooling units will be deployed for the duration of the hajj, Saudi Arabia's hajj minister Tawfiq al-Rabiah told AFP last week. Over 65,000 pilgrims unable to perform Hajj: Hajj operators, LCCI demand action The latest artificial intelligence software will also help monitor the flood of information and footage, including video from a new fleet of drones, from across Makkah to better manage the mammoth crowds. Despite the punishing heat, pilgrims were overjoyed as they arrived in Mecca. 'A blessing' 'This is really a blessing from Allah,' Abdul Majid Ati, a Filipino lawyer and Sharia counsellor, told AFP near the Grand Mosque. 'We feel so peaceful and safe in this place.' Abdulhamid from Nigeria, said he was 'very happy' to be performing his second pilgrimage in a row at just 27 years old. But the young man said he never walks out without his sunglasses, describing the temperatures in Makkah as 'very, very, very hot'. The rites in the holy city and its surroundings fall again this year during the hot month of June. Last year, 1,301 pilgrims, most of them unregistered and lacking access to air-conditioned tents and buses, died as temperatures soared to 51.8 degrees Celsius. PIA successfully completes its pre-Hajj operations 'They were caught by surprise because the intensity of the heat was so high that their adaptation measures failed,' said Fahad Saeed of Climate Analytics, a think tank based in Germany. In the run-up to this year's hajj, Saudi authorities launched a widespread crackdown on unregistered worshippers – relying on frequent raids, drone surveillance and a barrage of text alerts focused on rooting out unauthorised visitors hoping to sneak into Mecca. Hajj permits are allocated to countries on a quota system and distributed to individuals by lottery. Arrest and deportation But even for those who can obtain them, the steep costs prompt many to attempt the hajj without a permit – though they risk arrest and deportation if caught. Along with hefty fines, those found illegally entering Makkah during the hajj face a potential 10-year ban from the kingdom. Large crowds at the hajj have proved hazardous in the past, most recently in 2015 when a stampede during the 'stoning the devil' ritual in Mina, near Mecca, killed up to 2,300 people in the deadliest hajj disaster. Saudi Arabia, which is home to Islam's holiest sanctuaries in Makkah and Medina, earns billions of dollars each year from the hajj and from pilgrimages known as Umrah, undertaken at other times of the year. They also enhance the prestige of the Saudi monarch, who is known as the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques of Makkah and Medina. For Mariama, a 52-year-old pilgrim from Senegal, the journey to Makkah for the hajj has fulfilled a life-long dream. 'I was dreaming about it, thinking about it every time to come here to do the hajj,' she said.
