The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has responded to the rumors circulating on social media for the last few days regarding severe cold weather in the coming days, specifically from January 12 to 15.
The Met Department has categorically denied the rumors, stating that there is no truth to them.
According to Deputy Director Met, Irfan Virk, the cold weather most parts of the country are currently experiencing is due to fog, which is causing the temperature to drop.
Virk added that the temperature is expected to drop further in the next few days due to fog. The Met Department stated that it is continuously monitoring the weather situation.
Moreover, it requested the public to ignore unverified rumors circulating on social media, urging them to check the latest weather updates on its website.
Earlier, the Met Department had announced that due to the stable atmosphere, prevailing dense foggy conditions will continue over Punjab including Islamabad, plains of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and upper Sindh.
