ISLAMABAD: As we look ahead to the upcoming twelve hours, weather patterns are set to bring about varying conditions across the country.
While hot and humid weather is anticipated for the plain areas, a more diverse weather picture emerges for other regions.
In the Potohar region, northeastern Punjab, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit Baltistan, Kashmir, and adjacent hilly areas, we can expect scattered rain, gusts of wind, and the possibility of thundershowers. This divergence from the usual weather pattern adds an element of unpredictability to these regions.
The morning temperatures registered in key cities today provide an insightful overview of the expected weather fluctuations:
- Islamabad and Muzaffarabad commenced the day at twenty-four degrees Celsius, offering a mild start.
- Lahore woke up to a slightly warmer day with a temperature of thirty-one degrees Celsius.
- Karachi, on the other hand, began the day at a relatively comfortable twenty-seven degrees Celsius.
- Quetta greeted the morning at nineteen degrees Celsius, while Gilgit’s temperature was at twenty degrees Celsius.
- In the scenic hill station of Murree, residents and visitors experienced a brisk morning with the temperature at seventeen degrees Celsius.
Turning our attention to the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir region, the meteorological office forecasts a mixed bag of conditions. Srinagar, Pulwama, and Baramula are likely to experience partly cloudy weather with the potential for rain, wind, and thundershowers. In contrast, Jammu, Leh, Anantnag, and Shopian are expected to have partially cloudy skies without any major weather disturbances.
The temperature readings from this morning paint a nuanced picture of the climate in these areas:
- Srinagar, Pulwama, and Shopian began the day at a pleasant eighteen degrees Celsius.
- Jammu recorded a warmer start at twenty-four degrees Celsius.
- In the higher altitudes of Leh, the temperature was notably cooler, at thirteen degrees Celsius.
- Anantnag and Baramula experienced a moderate beginning with the mercury hovering around nineteen degrees Celsius.
