Islamabad, March 30, 2025 – The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast predominantly dry weather across most districts of Punjab on the first day of Eid-ul-Fitr, Monday, March 31, 2025.
According to the PMD, Punjab is expected to witness mainly dry conditions, accompanied by gusty winds in several regions. While temperatures will remain high in the plains, cooler conditions are likely in elevated areas such as Murree, Galliyat, and Kashmir. The dry spell is attributed to continental air prevailing over most parts of the country, limiting chances of rainfall during the festive occasion.
The weather outlook suggests that Punjab will continue to experience dry weather on Saturday, March 30, 2025, with similar conditions persisting into Eid day. The PMD warns that gusty winds may create dusty conditions in some areas, affecting outdoor activities and travel plans. Despite this, Punjab’s dry conditions will allow families to celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr without disruptions caused by rain.
The forecast further indicates that Murree, Galliyat, and surrounding regions will also experience dry weather during the holiday period. While these areas typically provide a cooler escape for visitors, temperatures may be slightly warmer than usual due to the prevailing dry air.
As Punjab prepares for Eid celebrations, residents are advised to take precautions against the dry and warm conditions, particularly in plain districts where daytime temperatures could soar. The PMD also recommends staying hydrated and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun during peak hours.
With dry weather persisting across Punjab, families can expect uninterrupted outdoor festivities, including traditional gatherings and recreational outings. However, those traveling to higher altitudes should remain updated on local forecasts for any sudden weather changes.
Punjab’s dry spell during Eid-ul-Fitr reflects broader climatic trends across Pakistan, with continental air patterns dominating much of the country. As celebrations commence, Punjab’s residents can look forward to a warm but pleasant holiday season with minimal weather-related disruptions.
