These weather phenomena are expected to impact several regions, including major cities, with higher daytime temperatures anticipated due to elevated pressure in the upper atmosphere, particularly in the southern half of Pakistan.
As per a PMD representative, a westerly wave is set to enter the western regions of Pakistan on May 10, progressing towards the northern areas by the subsequent day. This weather system is likely to persist until Friday, resulting in daytime temperatures rising 3-5°C above normal levels.
