Dense Fog to Blanket Punjab This Week

News Desk

Lahore: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) warned on Wednesday of dense foggy conditions in Punjab, including Lahore and adjacent areas, during this week.

According to a spokesman for the PMD, due to the stable atmosphere, prevailing dense foggy conditions would continue over Punjab, including Islamabad, the plains of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, and upper Sindh.

However, a rain-bearing westerly system is likely to enter Balochistan on Thursday and may affect parts of Balochistan until Friday.

Due to foggy conditions, day temperatures are likely to drop by 03 to 05 degrees Celsius in the coming days, and very cold weather conditions are likely to prevail in fog-affected areas.

Exposure to a foggy environment may cause health-related issues, and flights, railways, and highway/motorway operations may be disrupted during this week in most parts of Punjab. Travellers are advised to remain cautious during the foggy days, the spokesman added.
