Deaths mount as #Pakistan swelters in #heatwave
"However, the rising numbers of dead came as temperatures in #Karachi soared above 40C (104F), with the high humidity making it feel as hot as 49C, reports said.
Experts agree these sorts of extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense as a result of climate change.
The heatwave roasting Karachi is expected to last into next week, albeit with slightly lower temperatures forecast."
