Islamabad, April 12, 2025 – Residents of Islamabad are enduring a relentless wave of scorching heat as the weather continues to blaze with intense sunshine and dangerously high temperatures.
The ongoing hot spell has prompted health officials and meteorologists to urge citizens to take serious precautions, especially when outdoors for extended periods. The capital city’s weather is expected to remain extremely hot in the coming days, raising concerns about heat-related illnesses.
According to AccuWeather, the temperature in Islamabad today soared to a sweltering 37°C, with a RealFeel® of 38°C, making the outdoors almost unbearable. Even in shaded areas, the RealFeel Shade™ temperature remained at 35°C, offering little relief. With a UV index peaking at 9 — categorized as very high — sun exposure can be particularly harmful, increasing the risk of sunburn and heatstroke.
The weather outlook for Sunday, April 13, predicts a slightly lower temperature of 35°C during the day, but the heat will persist. Experts warn of possible dehydration and heat exhaustion, especially for those engaged in physical activity. Monday and Tuesday are forecasted to bring the heat back up to 37°C again, with RealFeel® temperatures pushing close to 39°C, making Islamabad one of the hottest cities in the region this week.
Winds blowing from the south and southeast at moderate speeds (around 9–11 km/h) provide minimal cooling. However, they do little to counter the oppressive heat that continues to grip Islamabad. With the UV index consistently remaining at dangerous levels, the risk of heat-related health issues remains high throughout this period.
Authorities are advising Islamabad residents to stay indoors during peak heat hours, wear light and breathable clothing, and stay well-hydrated. Special caution is recommended for children, the old-age, and those with existing medical conditions.
As Islamabad continues to simmer under this unrelenting weather, the local population is bracing for what feels like an early arrival of summer. With little sign of relief on the horizon, the message is clear: the heat is on, and Islamabad must stay alert and prepared for the extreme weather ahead.
