PMD predicts rain and snowfall nationwide

The Meteorological Department has forecast rain and snowfall in several regions of Pakistan.

Residents in northern districts and hilly areas should prepare for extremely low temperatures, especially during the morning and night hours. Light rain and snowfall are expected in the mountains of Balochistan, Gilgit-Baltistan, Kashmir, and upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Specific areas forecasted to receive light rain or snowfall include Quetta, Ziarat, Chaman, Pishin, Qila Abdullah, Qila Saifullah, and surrounding regions. These weather conditions may cause slippery roads, reduced visibility, and travel difficulties in the affected areas.

Meanwhile, most districts of Balochistan are expected to remain dry and cold, though temperatures will drop significantly at night. Citizens are advised to take precautions against the cold, particularly in northern and high-altitude areas where severe weather may affect daily life. Authorities have urged residents to dress warmly and avoid unnecessary travel during the coldest hours of the day.

Farmers and livestock owners are also being advised to take measures to protect crops and animals from the harsh winter conditions. The Meteorological Department emphasized that weather patterns are likely to remain cold in the coming days, with scattered snowfall and rainfall continuing in some mountainous areas. Citizens are encouraged to stay updated with local forecasts to ensure safety and preparedness. By following these warnings and taking necessary precautions, residents can reduce risks from extreme cold and maintain normal activities despite the challenging weather conditions.
