Morning temperatures in many districts, especially between 11am and 4pm – the searing hours of the day – are expected to increase between 45 and 50°C. While the majority of Punjab, including Lahore, is expected to see similar weather patterns, Islamabad and the neighbouring areas will continue to be gripped by extreme heat and dryness.

The public has been warned through the alert issued by Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) to take preventive measures as mercury continues to go up and the conditions over different areas worsen due to the scorching hot and dry weather.

Temperatures in the province capital are expected to reach 46°C, with the sun shining brightly. Rainfall in the area has not yet been predicted by the Met Office.

The conditions will exasperate because powerful and grimy air is anticipated in the afternoon in the plain areas of Punjab.

Scorching heat will be experienced in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) plain areas. Although the Met department has forecast a little bit of rainfall in upper areas of the province, like Chitral, Dir, Swat and neighbouring regions, several parts will remain dry and warm.

Kashmir and Gilgit Baltistan will have an identical state to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as there won t be any worthy solace from the heat.

In order to prevent heatstroke and other weather-related ailments, authorities have advised the public—particularly vulnerable populations like women, children, and the elderly—to stay indoors during peak hours, drink plenty of water, and dress comfortably.

Additionally, medical professionals have recommended individuals to avoid needless travel, seek shade, drink more water, and keep an eye out for signs of heat fatigue.
