Islamabad, November 4, 2024 – The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has released its weather outlook for Tuesday, November 5, predicting predominantly dry conditions across the country. Most regions will experience mild to moderate temperatures during the day, while the hilly areas can expect chilly morning and night temperatures. Smog and light fog are likely to persist across various parts of Punjab, potentially impacting visibility and air quality.
Synoptic Situation
According to the PMD, a prevailing system of continental air is influencing the weather across most parts of Pakistan. This synoptic pattern generally leads to dry and stable conditions, with minimal chances of precipitation or sudden temperature changes. As this system remains in place, the atmosphere in the plains is expected to stay dry, while the hills may witness cooler conditions during the early morning and nighttime hours.
Weather Outlook for Tuesday, November 5
The forecast suggests that most of Pakistan will continue to experience dry weather, with cooler temperatures in mountainous regions. Cities such as Islamabad, Lahore, and Peshawar can expect sunny to partly cloudy skies, accompanied by mild daytime temperatures, but cooler air will set in as the night progresses. In northern regions, especially areas such as Murree and Swat, temperatures are likely to dip significantly during the night, creating chilly conditions.
In Punjab, the PMD has warned of ongoing smog and light fog in major cities like Lahore, Faisalabad, and Multan. Residents are advised to exercise caution during early morning and evening hours, when visibility may be reduced. Drivers should take extra care due to the risk of low visibility caused by smog and fog, which could make road conditions hazardous.
Past 24 Hours Review
Dry weather prevailed across most parts of Pakistan over the past 24 hours, with cooler conditions in the northern hilly regions. Smog and light fog continued to linger over Punjab, affecting visibility in some areas.
Recorded Minimum Temperatures
The PMD reported the lowest temperatures of the day from Leh, where the mercury dipped to -1°C, and Skardu, which recorded 0°C. These low temperatures in northern Pakistan underscore the onset of colder conditions in mountainous areas as winter approaches.
The PMD will continue to monitor weather developments, and any significant changes in the forecast will be communicated through timely advisories.
