  "textContent": "A man distributes free cold drink among passers-by at a roadside stall on Tuesday.—Online\n\nKARACHI: The city experienced hot and humid weather throughout Tuesday, with the maximum temperature reaching 36.5 degrees Celsius. However, due to high humidity levels, the “feels-like” temperature surged to around 48°C during the day, making conditions significantly more uncomfortable for residents.\n\nThe Met Office said the maximum temperature recorded in the city was 36.5°C, while relative humidity remained at 62 per cent, significantly increasing the perceived heat.\n\n“At around 2pm the temperature was recorded at 36°C with 60pc humidity while southwest winds were blowing 21 kilometres per hour. At that time the feels-like temperature was touching 48°C,” said an official.\n\nIn other parts of Sindh, a severe heatwave continued to grip upper and central parts of the province, with temperatures reaching extreme levels across several districts.\n\nAccording to the Met Office, Dadu recorded 48°C, while Sukkur, Rohri and Khairpur registered around 46.5°C.\n\nThe Pakistan Meteoro­lo­gi­cal Depart­ment warned last week that heatwave conditions are likely to persist across Sindh, with temperatures remaining four to six degrees above normal in many areas.\n\nAccording to the Met Office, the maximum temperature in Karachi on Wednesday (today) will be around 36°C but humidity may cross 70pc mark.\n\n_Published in Dawn, June 10th, 2026_",
