ISLAMABAD: The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has forecasted cloudy weather with chances of light rain in northeastern parts of Punjab including Rawalpindi and Islamabad on December 23 and 24 (Monday-Tuesday).
NDMA’s National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC) on Saturday issued weather projections for December 21-26.
As per the NEOC advisory, cold and dry conditions are expected across most parts of Punjab, whereas smog and fog will likely persist in the plains through December 26, 2024.
“In Balochistan and Sindh, cold and dry weather is predicted throughout the forecast period, while Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is expected to experience cold conditions with isolated rainfall in various areas. Snowfall is likely over the province’s hilly regions,” it read.
Similarly, NDMA predicted mainly cold weather, with isolated rain and snowfall over the hills of Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
In addition to that NDMA has advised local authorities, emergency responders, and the public to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions during this period.
“Residents of northern and hilly areas are urged to exercise caution while traveling due to the risk of slippery roads and reduced visibility. Meanwhile, people in smog-affected regions should limit outdoor exposure and adopt protective measures in low-visibility conditions,” the NDMA said in an advisory.
