Northern Pakistan recorded some of its highest temperatures ever on Saturday, with Gilgit-Baltistan’s Chilas district reaching 48.5°C (119.3°F), breaking a 28-year-old record, according to the Meteorological Department.
The Bunji area also set a new high at 46.1°C, surpassing its previous record from 1971. Other regions including Nokkundi, Sibbi, Dera Ghazi Khan, Dadu, and Dera Ismail Khan saw temperatures above 44°C.
Officials warn that the intense heat could speed up snow and glacier melting, raising the risk of floods and flash floods in nearby valleys over the coming week.
Gilgit-Baltistan, home to some of the world’s tallest mountains like K2, is a popular destination for tourists and climbers.
