Islamabad, September 9, 2024 – The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a weather report for Monday, September 9, 2024, providing updates on the prevailing conditions across the country.
According to the PMD, most of Pakistan continues to experience continental air dominance, leading to hot and dry conditions. However, a shallow westerly wave is anticipated to approach the northern and western parts of the country later in the day, specifically during the evening or night.
Weather Forecast for Monday, September 9, 2024
The PMD has forecasted that the majority of the country will experience hot and dry weather throughout the day, with little to no chance of significant rain in the plains and southern regions. High temperatures will persist across most of the central and southern parts of Pakistan, keeping conditions warm and dry. However, there are isolated regions where some relief is expected.
For the northern and higher-altitude areas, such as Gilgit-Baltistan, Kashmir, and upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, partly cloudy skies are predicted by the evening or night. Additionally, these regions could witness light rain accompanied by thunderstorms in isolated areas. These weather patterns may bring brief but localized rainfall and cooling to these mountainous areas, providing some respite from the prevailing dry conditions.
Weather Outlook for Tuesday, September 10, 2024
Looking ahead to Tuesday, September 10, 2024, similar weather patterns are expected. The hot and dry conditions will continue to dominate most of the country. However, isolated places in Gilgit-Baltistan, the Potohar region, Kashmir, and upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are likely to experience partly cloudy skies with the possibility of rain, wind, and thunderstorms. This suggests that northern and hilly regions might see scattered rain showers, which could bring down temperatures in those areas.
Weather Summary for the Past 24 Hours
In the past 24 hours, Pakistan has witnessed widespread hot and dry weather, with no major rainfall recorded across the country. Temperatures have remained on the higher side, particularly in the southern and central regions.
Highest Maximum Temperatures Recorded on Sunday, September 8, 2024
On Sunday, the highest temperatures recorded in the country included Dalbandin and Nokkundi at a scorching 42°C, followed closely by Sibbi, Rohri, Dadu, and Turbat, all registering 41°C. These temperatures highlight the persistent heatwave in certain parts of the country.
In conclusion, while most parts of Pakistan continue to experience hot and dry conditions, the northern regions might see light rain and thunderstorms later in the day. Residents in these areas are advised to stay alert and take necessary precautions against sudden changes in weather conditions.
