PMD warns moderate to severe heatwaves may affect most of Pakistan during Eid from May 25-31 due to high-pressure system.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a warning that moderate to severe heatwave conditions are likely to impact the majority of the country during the upcoming Eid holidays, which fall on May 25 through May 31. This forecast comes as a result of the formation of a high-pressure system in the upper atmosphere.
The PMD's advisory highlights the potential for extreme temperatures across various regions, emphasizing the need for citizens to take precautions against heat exhaustion and dehydration during this period. Authorities are advising residents to stay indoors during peak sunlight hours, drink plenty of fluids, and ensure adequate rest to avoid health risks associated with high temperatures.
This severe weather condition is expected to affect major cities like Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, and others, making it crucial for individuals to monitor local meteorological updates closely. The PMD has urged the public to be vigilant and prepared for potential heatwave impacts during this festive season.
The Eid holidays are a time of celebration and family gatherings for millions in Pakistan, but these warnings underscore the importance of safety measures as temperatures rise significantly across the nation.
