KARACHI: A high of 43.5 degrees Celsius was recorded in Karachi on Monday, with a prediction by the Chief Meteorological Officer, Sardar Sarfraz, of Tuesday’s temperature ranging between 40 and 42 degrees celsius as well, owing to the suspension of sea breeze resulting from the tropical cyclone Tauktae. “The night on May 8, 2015 was the hottest night on record with 34°C,” said Sarfraz, claiming that the next two nights in the city are likely to remain hot as well. In Karachi, Hyderabad, Shaheed Benazirabad, Badin, Mirpurkhas, Tando Allahyar, and Thatta districts hot and dry weather with gusty winds is likely to continue until the evening. These gusty winds may affect the fruit orchards in the above-mentioned districts. Fishermen of Sindh are also advised to suspend their activities until Wednesday as sea conditions will remain rough to very rough.
