Pakistan Hits Record 52-2°C Amid Heat Wave

00:01:18

Temperatures in Pakistan's Sindh province have soared above 52°C (125.6°F). This marks the highest reading of the summer and nears the national record. Mohenjo Daro, a town renowned for its ancient archaeological sites, recorded temperatures of 52.2°C (126°F). This extreme heat wave, exacerbated by human-driven climate change, has caused a sharp decline in local business activity. The heat has also led to power outages and discomfort among residents, who are taking frequent baths and seeking shelter indoors. Pakistan, ranked as the fifth most vulnerable country to climate change, continues to face severe weather challenges. This includes above-normal rain and floods, as well as droughts. The highest temperature ever recorded in Pakistan was 54°C (129.2°F) in Turbat, Balochistan, in 2017. The current heat wave in Mohenjo Daro is expected to subside soon, but other regions in the country are bracing for similar conditions.
