A scorching heat wave that has plagued Karachi, Pakistan for the past week, with temperatures reaching 113 degrees Fahrenheit, may be coming to an end.

The high temperature dropped below 100 degrees in the sprawling port city of Karachi on Wednesday, reaching a high of 93 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the Associated Press.

The heat wave has killed more than 830 people, an unusually high number for Pakistan, which is accustomed to scorching temperatures. This heat wave hit during the holy month of Ramadan, when most residents of the city refrain from food or drink during the day, making them more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses.

In addition, power outages have disabled many fans and air conditioners, further limiting the availability of relief.

At Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, the high temperature rose above 100 degrees Fahrenheit every day since June 18, with overnight lows in the low to mid-80s Fahrenheit.

Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan's prime minister, declared a state of emergency as the death toll mounted. Many Karachi residents are blaming the government's poor response to chronic problems with the power grid and lack of heat wave preparations for the high death toll.

The Indian Monsoon is moving toward Pakistan, potentially bringing some relief from the heat in the form of onshore winds and rainfall.
