HYDERABAD — Residents of Hyderabad braved intense heatwave conditions Tuesday as soaring temperatures continued to grip the city. People were forced to improvise protection against the punishing sun.
Residents Adapt to Extreme Heat Conditions
Motorcyclists were seen covering their faces with cloth to shield themselves from the heat. The improvised protection has become a common sight across the city.
Street vendors adapted to the conditions by setting up makeshift stalls beneath a flyover in Qasimabad. They sold inflatable swimming pools, hoping to attract customers seeking relief from the sweltering weather.

The scenes in Hyderabad reflect a broader pattern of extreme heat affecting urban centres across Pakistan. Summer temperatures have climbed to dangerous levels nationwide.
Vulnerable Groups Face Greatest Challenges
The heatwave places particular strain on vulnerable groups. Outdoor workers and daily commuters face the greatest challenges.
These groups have limited access to cooling facilities during working hours, making them most susceptible to heat-related health risks.
