Islamabad, September 22, 2024 – The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted bright and sunny weather across most parts of the country today, making it an ideal day for outdoor activities. According to the PMD’s latest weather report, hot and dry conditions will prevail, with no significant chance of rain in any region.
The weather forecast for Sunday, September 22, 2024, indicates that continental air is dominating most areas of Pakistan, contributing to the hot and dry climate. These conditions are expected to persist throughout the day, with clear skies and minimal cloud cover. The PMD advises residents to take necessary precautions to avoid heat-related issues, particularly in regions where temperatures are expected to rise.
Looking ahead, the PMD has also predicted similar weather conditions for Monday, September 23, 2024. The hot and dry spell is expected to continue, with little change in the temperature pattern across the country. This prolonged dry weather could result in increased temperatures in already warm regions, particularly in southern and central parts of Pakistan.
The meteorological department also reviewed the weather conditions over the past 24 hours, noting that hot and dry weather dominated most regions, with no significant rainfall reported. The highest recorded temperatures on Saturday included Nokkundi, where the mercury reached 43°C, followed closely by Bhakkar, Dalbandin, Khairpur, and Dadu, all of which recorded temperatures of 42°C.
The PMD’s current forecast aligns with the typical late-September climate patterns seen across Pakistan, particularly in the country’s plains and southern regions. However, with temperatures continuing to rise, the PMD urges citizens to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day. The extended period of dry weather may also affect agricultural areas that rely on periodic rainfall, adding pressure to water resources.
For those planning outdoor activities, today promises clear skies and a pleasant day for travel or leisure. However, it is advised to wear light clothing and use sunscreen to avoid sunburn and heat exhaustion, especially in regions experiencing higher temperatures.
Overall, the bright and sunny weather brings relief to many regions following the monsoon season but may also lead to concerns about prolonged dry conditions if the heatwave continues without any respite.
