The season’s first snowfall has swept over Swat’s high-altitude regions, creating a picturesque winter scene in areas such as Ashu, Matiltan, Kalam, and Gabral. The snow-covered peaks and slopes have transformed these locations into a beautiful winter wonderland, drawing admiration from residents and visitors alike.
While the higher areas enjoy this fresh layer of snow, the plains of Swat continue to experience consistent rainfall. In Kalam, a light snowfall has brought a chill in the air, causing temperatures to drop noticeably. This cooling effect has led residents to switch to heavier, warmer clothing in preparation for the winter ahead.
In nearby Swabi, heavy dark clouds have cast a shadow over the landscape, plunging Razar tehsil into darkness and bringing a bout of heavy rain and hail. This intense weather activity has caused temperatures to fall sharply, marking a sudden shift toward colder days. The combination of rainfall and hail has further accentuated the region’s wintery atmosphere.
As Swat’s upper regions embrace the snowfall, locals and tourists alike are reminded of the beauty of winter’s arrival in northern Pakistan. The snowfall in Kalam and surrounding mountain villages brings anticipation for the seasonal activities that these areas are known for. Meanwhile, the rainfall in the lower plains of Swat and Swabi’s hailstorm hint at the shifting climate patterns that mark the start of the cold season.
