The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a significant weather forecast for Lahore and most parts of Punjab, and it appears that dry and cold weather is on the horizon. According to the latest synoptic situation, a continental air mass is currently dominating most regions of the country, resulting in a prediction of dry conditions over the next few days.
Dry Weather Ahead
With the arrival of this continental air mass, Lahore and Punjab are expected to experience dry weather conditions. This forecast covers Friday night and the subsequent two days, offering some respite from recent variations in weather patterns. The absence of precipitation will be particularly noticeable, and residents can expect clear skies during this period.
Chilling temperatures in the hills
As winter inches closer, the hilly regions of Murree, Galliyat, and their surrounding areas are preparing for a drop in temperatures. These areas are known for their natural beauty and are eagerly anticipated by tourists as the possibility of the season’s first snowfall becomes increasingly likely. This chilly weather creates an ideal setting for hot beverages, cozy blankets, and embracing the warmth indoors.

Areas at risk include Mangla, Sialkot, Narowal, Gujranwala, Lahore, Okara, Sahiwal, Sargodha, Mandi Bahauddin, Joharabad, Faisalabad, Bahawalpur, and Dera Ghazi Khan.
