Virk warned that dense to moderate fog is likely to affect visibility in several plain areas, particularly Punjab, Upper Sindh, and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, potentially disrupting travel during late night and early morning hours.

Giving a regional outlook, he said Islamabad and adjoining areas will experience cold and dry weather, with fog formation expected during the night and early morning.

Most districts of Balochistan are also likely to remain cold and dry, with severe cold conditions in northern parts during morning and night, he added.

Meanwhile, Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan are expected to witness cloudy weather, which will further intensify the winter chill in hilly areas.
