Chilly Weather
As November begins, Pakistan is witnessing a significant shift in weather patterns, with cooler temperatures making their presence felt across much of the country.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has reported a widespread drop in temperatures, marking the arrival of winter.
Days are still accompanied by some sunshine, but the nights are becoming noticeably colder, creating a sharp contrast between daytime warmth and evening chill.
In the capital, Islamabad, the weather has taken a cooler turn. While the city still enjoys mild sunshine during the day, evenings bring a distinct coolness that is hard to ignore. This shift has prompted residents to start layering up as the nighttime temperatures drop.
The hilly areas, particularly Murree and the Galliyat region, have been hit by cold winds, with the PMD warning of a sustained dip in temperatures. These cool winds have led to residents switching to warmer clothing earlier than usual.
The crisp air in these regions serves as a reminder that winter is approaching swiftly. In Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, the season’s first light snowfall has already arrived, pushing temperatures even lower.
The snowfall has created picturesque landscapes but also ushered in colder weather for the people living in these areas.
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the majority of districts are expected to experience dry weather, but the nights will be particularly cool. The PMD has forecasted this pattern to persist in the coming days, making it essential for residents to brace themselves for colder nights.
Meanwhile, several parts of Punjab, including major cities such as Lahore, Sialkot, and Faisalabad, are expected to face a different challenge – smog.
As temperatures drop and the air becomes heavier, smog has started to blanket parts of the province.
Areas like Gujranwala, Sheikhupura, Kasur, Okara, Sargodha, Bahawalpur, Multan, and Rahim Yar Khan are all expected to experience this atmospheric condition, with the PMD advising caution, particularly for those with respiratory conditions.
On the other hand, the southern provinces of Sindh and Balochistan will experience a different weather pattern. The PMD predicts warm and dry weather for these regions, with no significant drop in temperature expected.
While the northern and central parts of the country gear up for colder days, Sindh and Balochistan will continue to experience warmer conditions, maintaining a stark contrast in weather between Pakistan’s regions.
