Islamabad, December 4, 2024 – The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued its weather report for Wednesday, December 4, 2024, predicting cold and dry conditions across most regions of the country. The PMD noted that continental air is prevailing over much of Pakistan, contributing to the dry and chilly weather.
On Wednesday, cold and dry weather is expected to continue in most parts of the country, with northern areas experiencing very cold conditions. In particular, the mountainous regions in the north, such as Skardu, Leh, Kalam, and Hunza, will see significant drops in temperatures. These areas are likely to experience temperatures well below freezing, with minimum temperatures recorded at Leh -09°C, Skardu -05°C, Kalam -04°C, and Hunza -02°C.
Looking ahead, the weather forecast for Thursday, December 5, 2024, suggests similar conditions, with cold and dry weather expected across the majority of Pakistan. The northern regions will remain very cold, while the plains of Punjab and upper Sindh are likely to experience patches of fog during the morning and night hours, particularly in the low-lying areas. This could lead to reduced visibility, so travelers should exercise caution on the roads during these hours.
The weather in the past 24 hours saw cold and partly cloudy or dry conditions in most parts of the country, with some drizzle observed in Dera Ghazi Khan, although overall, the weather remained largely dry and chilly. The PMD also reported that temperatures across the country have remained low, with northern areas experiencing some of the coldest conditions.
As the winter season deepens, the weather is expected to continue being cold and dry, with further fog likely in the plains of Punjab and upper Sindh in the coming days. The public is advised to take precautions against the cold, especially in the northern and hilly areas where temperatures could reach extreme lows.
