Weather Dept. Predicts Islamabad Temperature to Drop Below Freezing Point

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a stark warning as a severe cold wave continues to sweep across the country. Temperatures in the capital, Islamabad, are expected to drop below the freezing point tonight, intensifying the already biting cold conditions.

The PMD forecast reveals that upper regions of Pakistan will experience persistent bitter cold, with temperatures in many northern districts expected to plunge significantly below zero. The morning hours are likely to bring frost to Islamabad, the Potohar region, and select plain areas of Punjab, exacerbating the chill.

Authorities are urging caution among tourists and travelers, advising them to limit exposure to the harsh weather conditions. “Unnecessary exposure to the cold should be avoided,” the PMD emphasized, as it highlighted the risks of frostbite and other cold-related illnesses.

Farmers have also been advised to take precautionary measures to protect their crops and livestock from the severe weather. Frost poses a significant threat to agricultural productivity, particularly in the affected plains.

The ongoing cold wave is a reminder of the pressing need for preparedness during extreme weather events. Residents in affected areas are encouraged to dress warmly, ensure adequate heating, and remain vigilant as temperatures plummet.

Stay tuned for further updates from PMD as the cold wave persists.
