Pakistan is gearing up for a diverse range of weather conditions as the Meteorological Department forecasts a mix of hot, dry spells and stormy showers across different regions. The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) has issued an alert to prepare citizens and administrations for potential weather-related challenges.
According to the latest updates from the Meteorological Department, most parts of the country are expected to experience scorching heat and dry weather. However, areas such as Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and northeastern Balochistan might witness thunderstorms and rainfall.
In the capital city Islamabad and surrounding areas, daytime will be characterized by hot and dry conditions, while evenings may bring thunderstorms and showers. Similarly, in certain districts of Balochistan, the weather is expected to remain dry and warm.
For travelers and residents, especially during the upcoming Eid al-Adha holidays, DG PDMA Irfan Ali Kathia emphasized the importance of staying updated with weather forecasts and taking necessary precautions while venturing into mountainous regions.
In terms of water levels, rivers and reservoirs across the country are showing varying inflow and outflow rates. Tarbela, Mangla, and Chashma reservoirs are currently holding significant water reserves, while rivers like Indus, Jhelum, and Kabul are witnessing fluctuating water levels.
As the weather situation remains dynamic, PDMA has set up helplines for emergency assistance and urged citizens to stay away from electrical hazards and open areas during storms. Tourists and residents in sensitive regions advised to follow precautionary measures and stay informed about weather updates.
In conclusion, Pakistan is bracing for contrasting weather patterns, and proactive measures by authorities and individuals alike will be crucial in mitigating any potential risks and ensuring safety during this period.
