Quetta:<\/strong> The intense heatwave gripping parts of Pakistan continued on Tuesday, with the Balochistan cities of Nokkundi<\/strong> and Sibi<\/strong> recording the highest temperatures in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD)<\/strong>, both cities registered a maximum temperature of 48 degrees Celsius<\/strong>, making them the hottest locations nationwide during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extreme Heat in Balochistan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meteorological officials reported that the ongoing hot and dry weather conditions have significantly increased temperatures across several districts of Balochistan. Nokkundi and Sibi, which are already known for experiencing some of the country’s highest temperatures during summer, once again topped the list of the hottest cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The severe heat reflects the broader weather pattern affecting much of the region, where clear skies, intense solar radiation, and dry atmospheric conditions are contributing to exceptionally high daytime temperatures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dalbandin Also Experiences Intense Heat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The PMD stated that Dalbandin<\/strong> was not far behind, recording a maximum temperature of 47 degrees Celsius<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city, located in southwestern Balochistan, frequently experiences extreme summer conditions, but temperatures approaching the 50-degree mark continue to pose challenges for residents, particularly those working outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weather experts note that prolonged exposure to such high temperatures can increase the risk of heat-related illnesses, including dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quetta Records Hottest Day of the Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the provincial capital Quetta<\/strong> also experienced unusually hot weather. According to meteorological authorities, the city recorded its highest temperature of the current summer season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Quetta generally enjoys milder temperatures compared to many other parts of Balochistan, the recent rise in mercury levels highlights the widespread nature of the heatwave affecting the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Residents reported uncomfortable daytime conditions as temperatures climbed well above seasonal averages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heatwave Conditions Across Pakistan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The extreme temperatures in Balochistan are part of a broader pattern of hot weather affecting several regions of Pakistan. In recent weeks, many areas have witnessed above-normal temperatures due to persistent high-pressure systems dominating the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Climate experts have warned that rising temperatures and more frequent heatwaves are becoming increasingly common, driven in part by global climate change and shifting weather patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pakistan Meteorological Department continues to monitor conditions closely and regularly issues advisories to help the public stay safe during periods of extreme heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health Precautions Advised<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Authorities recommend that residents in heat-affected areas take precautionary measures, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
