Parts of the country remained in the grip of severe heat, while Karachi continued to experience scorching weather conditions.
The temperature in Karachi reached 36°C. However, due to high humidity levels, the heat was being felt at up to 48.7°C.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said the city was experiencing hot and humid conditions, accompanied by strong sunshine during daytime hours.
The maximum temperature is expected to range between 38°C and 39°C. Owing to elevated humidity levels, the heat index was recorded at 46.6°C.
The current temperature in Karachi stood at 35°C, while humidity was measured at 63%. Light winds were blowing from the west.
Health experts advised children and elderly people to take precautions amid the intense heat. Citizens were also urged to avoid unnecessary travel during afternoon hours.
Meanwhile, intense heat persisted across several areas of Balochistan.
Temperatures in Turbat and Sibi climbed to 50°C, while 43°C was recorded in Nokkundi, 38°C in Jiwani, 36°C in Gwadar and 34°C in Quetta.
The Met Office said most districts of Balochistan are likely to remain hot and dry over the next 24 hours. Southern districts are expected to experience severe heat, while north-eastern districts may remain partly cloudy.
Rain is also likely in Naseerabad, Kohlu, Musa Khel and Khuzdar.
However, the weather turned pleasant in Lahore and several other districts of Punjab after rainfall brought relief from the heat.
Thunderclouds gathered over Lahore, with light to heavy rain recorded in various parts of the city.
The rainfall led to a noticeable drop in temperature and provided respite to residents affected by the recent hot weather.
However, water accumulation in several areas caused difficulties for commuters.
In Wapda Town, a wall collapsed onto an auto-rickshaw, injuring the driver and a child.
Power supply was also disrupted after 49 feeders tripped across the city, while incomplete drainage operations continued to affect daily life in several localities.
