The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a weather advisory forecasting gusty winds for the southern districts of the country on Monday, March 18, 2024.
In its weather forecast, the PMD indicated that while mainly dry conditions are expected in most parts of the country, southern districts should brace for dust-raising and gusty winds.
As the nation prepares for the weather dynamics of the upcoming day, the PMD’s forecast paints a picture of predominantly dry weather across the country, with partially cloudy conditions anticipated in northern regions. However, the southern districts are likely to experience the effects of gusty winds, prompting residents and authorities to take necessary precautions to mitigate potential risks.
Reflecting on the weather conditions of Sunday, March 17, 2024, the PMD reported a similar pattern of predominantly dry weather prevailing across most regions of the country. However, parts of the northern areas experienced partly cloudy conditions, hinting at the variability in weather patterns across different regions.
Commenting on the synoptic situation, the PMD highlighted the prevalence of continental air mass over most parts of the country, which often contributes to stable weather conditions but can also lead to localized disturbances, such as gusty winds in certain areas.
Reviewing the weather observations from the past 24 hours, the PMD noted the prevalence of dry weather over most parts of the country, with colder temperatures observed in the upper regions.
Providing insights into the recorded lowest minimum temperatures, the PMD listed Leh at -07°C, Kalam at -05°C, Astor at -02°C, and Skardu and Gupis at -01°C. These temperatures underscore the chilly conditions experienced in the higher-altitude areas, indicative of the lingering grip of winter in certain regions.
As the nation gears up to navigate the weather dynamics of the coming days, the PMD’s advisory serves as a vital tool for individuals, communities, and authorities to stay informed and prepared for any potential weather-related challenges. With gusty winds forecasted for the southern districts, it becomes imperative for residents and relevant stakeholders to exercise caution and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and well-being.
In light of the PMD’s forecast, stakeholders are urged to stay vigilant and heed any additional advisories or updates issued by the meteorological authorities.
