Attribute it to global warming or a general change in weather patterns throughout the world, the recent heatwave in Karachi has brought forth insane reactions from people all over the city. From suggesting practical ways to deal with the garmi to pleading for a downpour, the uproar has surely caused the internet’s temperature to shoot up a few degrees.
I mean come on, this is pretty scary, isn’t it?
You’ve probably been confusing sweat with water for the past couple of days.
The heatwave is expected to continue till Thursday, particularly because of the dryness in the air. We hope everyone can stay safe from the sweltering weather in the days to come.
Uh oh, the irony of the situation…

Damn, we can feel the fire.
This citizen took it in another direction altogether. Karachiites, what do you say?
#Karachi please stop it. We know you're hot #Heatwave #karachiweather

Mhmm we’re hot for sure!
The heat gets tough with Ramazan, and everyone must drink LOTS of paani to stay hydrated throughout the day.
Drink approximately 6-8 glass of water while you're not fasting. It will keep your body well hydrated and prevent heat strokes. #HeatWave

In these changing environmental conditions, let’s promise ourselves to give some extra priority to taking care of nature and enhancing it.
Karachi NEEDS trees. No joke. There has to be at least one plant sown outside, if not every house then every street. Karachi needs to step up! May Allah bless the city with rain. #Heatwave

Yesss girl, you said it!
The heat in Karachi is reminding some people of David Beckham’s steamy look from the Royal Wedding!
What do you guys think?
Air-conditioning is such a blessing, but our hearts go out to all those who have to suffer the blazing heat outdoors. Let’s make a silent prayer for their safety.
I am lightheaded and fighting back nausea. Cannot even imagine the plight of citizens and labors who do not even have access to cold water at times. #heatwave

Well, this does seem very true right now! Lekin sooraj ne zyada acha welcome nahi kia…
دنیا چاند پر پہنچ گئی
اور کراچی سورج پر 😂#Heatwave— Zain Aslam 🇵🇰 (@RealZainAslam) May 22, 2018
I mean who really needs stoves when you can roast your food outside?
The heatwave may be driving us crazy already, but let’s try and stay hydrated and stay indoors through it. In the long run, PLEASE, LET’S PLEASE plant some trees!
Stay safe everyone!
