KARACHI: History books should be re-written again as on June 20, 2015 Karachi experienced one of the hottest days in years when temperature soared to 45°C.
Pakistan Meteorological Department said on Saturday that the heat wave would grip the most parts of the country, including Karachi, for the next two days.
Mostly whenever a heat wave affects Pakistan, Karachi escapes the wrath of the heat wave as south-west winds (sea breeze) keeps the temperature between 34°C to 36°C.
This time it was the western disturbance that caused the temperatures to rise to 44-45°C. It brought dry and hot winds for coastal parts of the country due to prevailing severe heat wave in the city. The humidity also dropped from 70% to just 12% on Saturday on June 19.
The highest temperature ever recorded in the living history of Karachi was 48.8°C, almost 50°C. This temperature was recorded in British India’s Karachi on May 9, 1938.
