The scorching weather has started affecting everyday activities across the city. Several roads and marketplaces appeared less crowded as many people chose to remain indoors during peak afternoon hours. Traffic movement in several areas was also lighter compared to usual working days.

Strong surface winds are expected during afternoon and evening hours in the coming days, but they are unlikely to bring major relief from the heat. The prolonged hot weather has increased concerns among residents, especially those who travel frequently or work outdoors.
