KARACHI: The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued an advisory for a heatwave expected to grip most parts of the country from Tuesday (today) until April 27 (Sunday).

The NDMA said dry and hot weather conditions are anticipated in major parts of the country during this period. 

Balochistan and Sindh are likely to experience significantly higher temperatures than usual throughout the week. Hot weather is also expected in most areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Kashmir.

However, the NDMA has also forecast the possibility of scattered rainfall in various areas of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Kashmir, as well as in some districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which may provide some respite.
