Since the end of May, Pakistan has been grappling with relentless heatwaves, with sweltering temperatures soaring 4-5 degrees Celsius above normal in many regions. In southern Punjab and interior Sindh, temperatures have reached up to 52 degrees Celsius, making daily life difficult for people.

Environmentalists warn that this extreme heat trend will likely continue and worsen in the future. The primary causes identified are the growing population, coal-fired power plants, and emissions from industries and transportation. These factors contribute to the increasing frequency and severity of heat waves.
