Heatwave Warning! Islamabad Sizzles Under Merciless Sun

Islamabad, April 15, 2025 – The capital city is currently experiencing a severe heatwave, with temperatures soaring well above seasonal averages.

According to AccuWeather, Islamabad weather will remain extremely hot over the next few days, posing serious health risks for residents who spend extended periods outdoors.

Today, Tuesday, April 15, the mercury is expected to climb to a scorching 36°C during the day, dipping only slightly to 23°C at night. The RealFeel® temperature may rise as high as 38°C under the sun. Winds from the south at 13 km/h offer minimal relief, and the UV index remains dangerously high at 9. Hazy sunshine is expected throughout the day, contributing to the sweltering atmosphere and increasing the risk of dehydration and heatstroke.

On Wednesday, April 16, Islamabad weather will remain similarly harsh, with a daytime high of 36°C and a nighttime low of 21°C. There will be some intervals of clouds and sunshine, but conditions will remain hot. A slight 25% chance of precipitation is predicted, but it’s unlikely to bring any meaningful relief. Winds will shift to the south-southeast at 11 km/h. Again, the UV index is expected to reach 9, urging people to take proper sun protection measures.

Thursday, April 17, brings no significant changes to the Islamabad weather pattern. Temperatures may even rise slightly, with a high of 37°C and a low of 23°C. Sunshine will dominate once more, accompanied by hazy skies and light winds from the northwest at 13 km/h. RealFeel® and RealFeel Shade™ temperatures will hover around 37°C and 35°C respectively.

Given the current Islamabad weather conditions, residents are strongly advised to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activities during peak daylight hours, and wear light, breathable clothing. Schools, workplaces, and public health officials are also issuing advisories to limit outdoor exposure. The persistently high UV levels mean sunscreen and protective clothing are essential.

As Islamabad continues to battle this intense heatwave, staying informed and taking precautions will be key in preventing heat-related illnesses during this spell of extreme weather.
