ISLAMABAD: Over the upcoming twelve hours, a warm and muggy climate is set to envelop most regions of the country, creating conditions that might make us all reach for our fans and ice-cold beverages.
Meanwhile, certain areas will experience a shift in weather patterns, with a high probability of rain, wind, and even thunderstorms.
Upper Punjab, Islamabad, upper Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and Kashmir are poised to witness a transformation in weather as rain, wind, and the potential for thundershowers loom on the horizon. The moisture-laden atmosphere colliding with changing wind patterns will likely lead to these climatic shifts.
In contrast, central and southern districts of Sindh are on the brink of encountering dusty turmoil as dust storms and winds that whip up dust particles become increasingly likely. Simultaneously, southeastern and coastal areas are likely to welcome rain accompanied by thunderstorms during this time frame, providing a temporary reprieve from the humidity.
Taking a look at the thermometer readings from this morning reveals the temperature landscape in various major cities. The mercury soared to twenty-eight degrees Celsius in both Islamabad and Karachi, while Lahore experienced a slightly warmer twenty-nine degrees. Peshawar and Quetta reported temperatures of thirty and twenty degrees Celsius, respectively. In Gilgit, the temperature stood at a more moderate eighteen degrees, while Murree and Muzaffarabad experienced milder conditions of nineteen and twenty-five degrees Celsius.
Shifting our focus to the weather forecast for the Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the meteorological experts at the Met Office predict partly cloudy skies with the possibility of rain, wind, and even thundershowers in Srinagar, Leh, Anantnag, Baramula, Pulwama, and Shopian. Meanwhile, Jammu is expected to contend with hot and humid conditions, punctuated by the likelihood of rain and wind accompanied by thundershowers.
Temperature readings from this morning in these regions paint an interesting picture. Srinagar, Anantnag, and Shopian reported twenty-two degrees Celsius, while Jammu recorded a warmer twenty-eight degrees. Leh experienced a cooler morning at thirteen degrees, while Pulwama and Baramula both registered temperatures of twenty-one degrees Celsius.
