Pakistani city ranked 2nd hottest on the globe

LAHORE – Of the 15 hottest places in the world in the past 24 hours, four were in Pakistan according to weather monitoring website El Dorado on Monday.

The second and third rankings among the world’s 15 hottest places were both in India, but Pakistan grabbed the fourth and fifth spots with two other cities. Padidan, which is the southern part of Sindh province, and Sibi, which is in Balochistan, both registered temperatures above 118 degrees Fahrenheit (48 degrees Celsius). Pakistan also grabbed the eight spot on the list of the world’s 15 hottest places for Rohri, which is in the Sukkur district of Sindh province.

On the Pakistani side, Jacobabad topped the charts with a scorching high of 51 degrees Celsius. Then you have the cities that were in the range of 45 to 50 degrees Celsius. These included Multan, Lahore, Larkana, Rohri, Rahim Yar Khan, Bahawalnagar, and a few more.

Last year, Karachi experienced the hottest day of the year on Thursday as the temperature soared to 44 degrees Celsius after the sea breeze towards the city stopped due to a low pressure area on upper Sindh.
