Which city is known as the “urban heat island” of Pakistan?

A. Gawadar
B. Karachi
C. Hyderabad
D. Thatta
Correct Answer: B. Karachi

Correct answer: Karachi. Karachi, with its concrete buildings, roads, and little greenery, traps heat and forms an urban heat island.

Background: An urban heat island is a city that is warmer than the surrounding countryside.

  • Gawadar: Gwadar is a small coastal town.
  • Hyderabad: Hyderabad is smaller and less dense than Karachi.
  • Thatta: Thatta is a small town with less concrete.

Did you know? In June 2015 a deadly heatwave hit Karachi.

Memory trick: Concrete city → Karachi heat.
