Pakistan Weather Update

The mercury reached 51 degrees Celsius in Jacobabad, Pakistan on Saturday.
Pakistan Weather News: The sun is continuously raining fire from the sky. The situation is such that now people are avoiding going out on the road during the day. People in India are suffering from heat. In Pakistan too, the heat has broken all records. On Saturday, the mercury reached 51 degrees Celsius in Jacobabad, Pakistan. Experts say that it was the hottest temperature in the world. It was more than the 50.7 degrees Celsius recorded in Australia.
As the heat increases, crop yield may decrease, the irrigation spokesman of Pakistan's Punjab province said that this year there has been less rain and snowfall, due to which the water in the Indus river has decreased by 65 percent. Sheep are also dying due to severe heat in Cholistan, Punjab. This region supplies the largest amount of wheat to Pakistan but there is also a fear that crop yield will decrease due to heat this year.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department, the temperature in May was well above average. The average temperature in Jacobabad in May is 43.8°C. Pakistan's Karachi city also recorded the hottest day of the last decade on Saturday. According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department, the temperature in Karachi reached 42.8°C on Saturday. However, it remains to be seen how long people get relief from this increasing heat.
