Islamabad, March 28, 2025 – The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted persistently hot weather across the plain areas of Punjab over the next 24 hours, with temperatures expected to rise significantly.
According to the latest weather update for Saturday, March 29, 2025, most districts in Punjab will experience mainly dry and hot conditions throughout the day. The intensity of heat is expected to be particularly high in plain areas, while regions at higher altitudes, including Murree and Galiyat, may witness slightly milder conditions. Meanwhile, dry to partly cloudy weather is anticipated in Kashmir.
The PMD attributed the ongoing hot weather spell to the prevalence of continental air over most parts of the country. This atmospheric condition is contributing to the dry and warm climate, which is expected to persist in Punjab for the coming days.
For Friday, March 28, 2025, the PMD had earlier predicted similar weather patterns, with mainly dry and hot conditions dominating most districts of Punjab. Additionally, gusty winds are expected to accompany the hot temperatures in various parts of the province. However, areas such as Kashmir, Murree, and Galiyat may experience partly cloudy skies, providing slight relief from the heat.
Residents of Punjab, particularly those in the plain regions, are advised to take precautions against the rising temperatures. The hot weather may lead to increased risks of heat exhaustion, dehydration, and other heat-related ailments. Authorities recommend staying hydrated, avoiding direct sunlight during peak hours, and taking necessary measures to stay cool amid the rising temperatures.
As Punjab continues to experience this prolonged spell of hot and dry conditions, farmers and agricultural workers are also advised to take necessary steps to protect crops and livestock from excessive heat stress. The PMD will continue to monitor weather developments and issue updates as required.
With the onset of hot weather in Punjab, citizens are urged to remain cautious and stay updated with official weather advisories to ensure safety and preparedness in the coming days.
