Heat to grip Southern Pakistan!
-
No deaths occurred since July 6
- Karachi’s long wait for monsoon continues
Background for upcoming weather
- Precipitation till July 22 – Temperature till July 22
Upper and Northern parts of Pakistan are experiencing the third spell of current monsoon season which will continue till July 17 night. A western trough, which is interacting with monsoon moisture will enhance the activity over these areas. Humidity will remain high in all monsoon areas of Pakistan. Non-Monsoon regions that is Balochistan, FATA and western Khyber will remain dry. Some weak heat wave may occur in southern parts of Pakistan during the period.
Heat wave coming: Temperatures outlook
Sparrow drinking water
Temperatures have not changed and are not expected to change as compared to last update, except few southern parts that is Sindh, lower Balochistan and southern Punjab where it will increase. Following is the expected temperature in Sindh;
- 45 °C to 47 °C in Sukkur.
- 44 °C to 47 °C also in Larkana.
- 42 °C to 44 °C in Nawabshah.
- 39 °C to 43 °C in Hyderabad.
- 32 °C to 34 °C in Karachi. (Not changed since last update)
Overall the temperatures in mostly upper Sindh will increase by 2°C to 3°C, due to cloudy and windy conditions in coastal Sindh, the temperatures will not rise in those areas.
Due to the rainy activity in Punjab and Khyber, all the cities of these provinces will remain cool, but once the third monsoon spell is over, temperatures will rise there too. Following is the temperature of some cities of Punjab and Khyber;
- 41 °C to 45 °C in Lahore.
- 35 °C to 40 °C in Islamabad.
- 42 °C to 45°C in Multan.
- 42 °C to 45°C in Faisalabad.
- 37 °C to 41 °C in Peshawar. (Not changed since last update)
Overall once the third spell monsoon spell finishes in Upper Pakistan and cloudy activity decreases in lower Pakistan then temperatures will rise. However in coastal monsoon belt of Pakistan the temperatures will remain unchanged.
Heat wave and Precautions
People living in those areas where a mild heat wave is expected that is Upper Sindh, Southern Punjab and Balochistan. They should try to take precautions during the summer heat wave. Following people are mostly affected during a heat waves;
- Older people, especially those over 75 years old.
- People suffering from mental ill-health, those with dementia, and those who rely on help from other people to manage day-to-day activities.
- People who are bed-bound or have mobility problems.
- People taking certain types of medication.
- People with a serious chronic condition, particularly breathing or heart problems.
- People who already have a high temperature from an infection.
- People who use alcohol or illicit drugs.
- Babies and young children, especially under four years old.
- People who are physically active such as manual workers, or sportsmen and women.
Weather-related incident!
36 people have died since June 25 in Pakistan till July 15 due to weather related incidents. The deaths occurred due to heat waves, monsoon rainfall and river floodings. The death toll has not risen since July 6. Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) will keep tracking the death toll due to weather-related incident in Pakistan to show the people that how many citizens die during the monsoon season.
Monsoon 2011 update
- Third monsoon spell in full swing in Pakistan!
- Western trough and eastern currents interacting!
-
Karachiites eagerly waiting for first drop of rain!
Third monsoon spell in Upper Pakistan
Lahore during a dust storm and rainfall
Lots of thunder, winds, rainfall, black clouds and lightening, this is what Punjab, Khyber, Kashmir and few parts of Gilgit are experiencing since few days. The third monsoon spell will continue till July 17 with occasional gaps, the interaction between a western trough and monsoon currents from the Arabian sea is the main cause that would cause some heavy rainfall but no flooding-like situation likely at the moment, at least not from the third spell. After July 17, a break is expected all over Pakistan but few isolated thunderstorms can not be ruled out during that period. During the last week of July, a fourth spell of monsoon and a final monsoon rainfall of July is expected in these same areas.
“We want rain now!!”, Karachiites say
The patience of Karachiites have fizzled out and now they want their share of monsoon. After a long wait since the expected “Tropical storm ARB 01″ in June, Karachiites have been waiting for rains since then, they might have to wait till at least few more days as no weather system is likely to approach the thirsty and crisis-hit city. But there is a little hope that once the fourth spell starts in Upper Pakistan, the first monsoon spell may start in coastal Sindh including Karachi, while second spell may start in Upper Sindh. So will Karachi get finally get rainfall?
Looking back, it must be noted that monsoon usually happens in Karachi after July 15 rarely it happens before July 15, here are the few monsoon dates in Karachi since 2004;
- In 2004, monsoon started on October 2.
- In 2005, monsoon started on September 12.
- In 2006, monsoon started on July 26.
- In 2007, monsoon started on June 21.
- In 2008, monsoon started on July 28.
- In 2009, monsoon started on July 17.
- In 2010, monsoon started on June 6.
Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) had earlier forecasted that monsoon may hit Karachi around July 15 (+- in days) since nature had some other plans so monsoon is more likely to hit coastal Sindh during the last week of July, there are slim chances of it not hitting in July as some models continue to show no rainfall till July 31.
Poll of the week
Last week’s poll showed that 54% people believed that rainfall would occur from this low pressure that is over Madya Pradesh, while 45% showed that this low will not cause anything in Karachi. So Pakistan Weather Portal (PWP) wants to know from you that;
