It was also predicted that intensity of heat will be low at 34 to 36 degrees in Karachi due to sea winds. The meteorologists have said that there is no chance of rain so far.
On the other hand, unannounced power outages amid severe hot weather have landed the locals into an unending misery as urban cities are witnessing 14-16 hours of outages whereas the rural areas are undergoing 18-20 hours of power cut.
