The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted predominantly hot and dry conditions across much of the country during the opening days of Ramadan.
According to an official, rainfall is unlikely during the first ten days of the holy month, with dry weather expected to prevail in most regions. In cities such as Lahore and Islamabad, temperatures are forecast to remain under 30°C at the start of Ramadan. However, southern parts of the country are likely to experience noticeably higher temperatures.
Certain areas of Sindh and southern Punjab could see the mercury climb to around 35°C, potentially making fasting more difficult there compared to central and northern regions.
In Karachi, light showers may occur due to the influence of a new western weather system, possibly resulting in brief drizzles. Senior official Anjum Nazir noted that while this system may offer slight relief, it will not significantly alter the broader pattern of warm and dry weather.
For the first 20 days of Ramadan, temperatures in Karachi are expected to fluctuate between 32°C and 34°C. Although occasional light rain may bring some moderation, overall conditions will remain warm.
The PMD further indicated that temperatures are likely to increase during the final ten days of Ramadan. Authorities have urged citizens to exercise caution during fasting hours, as the heat is projected to intensify toward the end of the month.
