Citizens of the coastal city will continue to sizzle and bake until Saturday as the usual sea breeze that provides some respite from intense heat has been cut off by Cyclone Vayu, with temperatures expected to hover between 40 to 42 degrees Celsius. It is pertinent to mention here that Cyclone Vayu has intensified further in the East Arabian Sea. The cyclone is expected to cause heavy rains and storm in Badin, Thatta, and Tharparkar on Thursday and Friday, while thundershowers are also expected in the rest of Sindh. The fishermen are advised not to venture in the open sea as the sea will remain extremely rough. IGP Sindh Kaleem Imam has directed authorities to establish heat stroke units at the district level in Sindh.
