However, partly cloudy weather with light rain may occur in Gilgit-Baltistan during the evening or night.
On Wednesday, the lowest minimum temperature in the country was recorded in Leh, where the mercury dropped to minus eight degrees Celsius. In Lahore, the minimum temperature was recorded at 19 degrees Celsius.
Meanwhile, the city’s air quality remained a cause for concern. The average Air Quality Index (AQI) in Lahore was recorded at 154, placing it in the “unhealthy” category. The level poses health risks to the general public, particularly children, the elderly, and individuals suffering from respiratory illnesses.
Data showed that the concentration of PM2.5 — fine particulate matter capable of penetrating deep into the lungs — was measured at 11.9 times higher than the annual guideline value set by the World Health Organization, raising serious concerns about prolonged exposure and its impact on public health.
