The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted that cold and dry weather will persist across most parts of the country for the next 24 hours. Temperatures are expected to drop significantly in mountainous regions, where very cold conditions are likely to continue.
The PMD attributes these weather conditions to the dominance of continental air over much of the country. A shallow westerly wave is also influencing the western and northern regions.
Foggy conditions are expected during the morning hours in some areas, with shallow to moderate fog likely to affect Northeast and South Punjab, as well as Upper Sindh, potentially reducing visibility.
In the past 24 hours, cold and dry weather prevailed across most regions, with hilly areas experiencing very cold and partly cloudy conditions. Central and southern Punjab also saw areas of shallow fog.
The coldest temperatures on Sunday were recorded in the northern regions, with Leh, Skardu, and Astore dropping to −11°C, making them the coldest places in the country.
Residents in affected areas are urged to take precautions against the cold weather and reduced visibility due to fog.
