As winter tightens its grip, Pakistan braces for a further drop in temperatures. The Met Office predicts a mix of rain and snowfall in the country’s western and upper regions, painting a picturesque, albeit frosty, landscape.
The forecast for the next twelve hours paints a picture of cold and partly cloudy weather enveloping most parts of the country. However, the weather’s symphony plays a different tune in Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, south Punjab, Pothohar region, Kashmir, and adjoining hilly areas. Here, a medley of rain, wind, and thunderstorms, accompanied by a ballet of snowfall over the hills, is expected. The performance may also feature a hailstorm at a few places, with isolated heavy falls anticipated in northern and south-western Balochistan.
The weather’s ensemble extends its performance to Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal, Jhelum, Mianwali, Sargodha, and Khushab, where rain is expected to make an appearance. The hills of Murree and Galiat, along with their surrounding areas, may witness a spectacle of rain and snowfall.
The weather’s concert continues in Sindh, with Jamshoro, Karachi, Dadu, Nowshar, Feroze, and Larkana expecting a rain performance.
This morning’s temperature check reveals a range of readings across major cities: Islamabad and Muzaffarabad at five degrees centigrade, Lahore and Peshawar at eleven, Karachi basking at twenty-two, Quetta at two, Gilgit at three, and Murree experiencing the winter’s chill at zero degrees centigrade.
As the country nestles in winter’s embrace, stay warm, stay safe, and enjoy the weather’s symphony.
