      <title>Ramazan weather update: Blizzard freezes Murree, Abbottabad and Galiyat</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330405631/ramazan-weather-update-blizzard-freezes-murree-abbottabad-and-galiyat</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A powerful blizzard has brought life to a standstill in Murree, Abbottabad and Galiyat, forcing authorities to close tourist spots and shut down schools for two days.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The relentless snowfall has made travel nearly impossible, leaving roads blocked and residents stranded.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Islamabad and Rawalpindi, 60mm of rainfall caused a rise in Nullah Lai’s water level, triggering flood concerns.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, a major landslide in Dassu disrupted traffic on the Karakoram Highway, leaving passengers stranded.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Continuous rainfall for five days in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) has resulted in four deaths as harsh weather conditions wreak havoc across the province.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the holy month of Ramazan begins, cold and wet conditions have settled over the northern and western regions, bringing intermittent rain and snowfall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While fasting residents welcomed the cool weather, those in Karachi braced for intense heat, with a forecast of halted sea breezes starting today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Several cities in Punjab experienced heavy downpours, while Balochistan also witnessed intense rainfall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Neelum Valley and Leepa, landslides have blocked key routes, adding to travel disruptions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, Karachi is set to experience rising temperatures, as the Meteorological Department has predicted the cessation of sea breezes from today (Tuesday), with temperatures expected to reach 35°C by Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Several cities in Punjab, including Multan, Sheikhupura, Hafizabad, and Kot Addu, received heavy rainfall.&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Balochistan also experienced intense showers, with areas like Qila Abdullah, Pishin, Harnai, and Loralai witnessing heavy downpours, much to the delight of fasting individuals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Landslides in Neelum Valley and Leepa have resulted in road closures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Officials reported that the continuous five-day rainfall in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has led to various incidents, causing four fatalities and injuring nine people.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Abbottabad, heavy rain continues, while snowfall persists in Galyat. Authorities have restricted tourists from visiting the area, and the deputy commissioner has announced school closures.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The fresh spell of rain and snowfall has further intensified the cold across the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Cities in Punjab, including Khanewal, Sahiwal, Gujranwala, and Nankana, witnessed significant rainfall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Attock, Chiniot, and Shakargarh, heavy downpours turned streets into streams. Meanwhile, Balochistan’s districts, such as Qila Abdullah, Pishin, Harnai, and Loralai, experienced relentless showers, bringing relief to the fasting population.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Snow has blanketed the mountains in Ziarat, Toba Achakzai, and Toba Kakari, while Muzaffarabad, Abbottabad, and Skardu have turned into winter wonderlands.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Snowfall continues in Basham, Shangla Top, Yakhtangi, and Alpuri, with landslides disrupting access to Neelum Valley and Leepa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Karachi’s heat is expected to challenge those observing the fast, as the sea breeze is predicted to halt from Tuesday, pushing temperatures to 35°C by Friday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the holy month progresses, the mix of chilly and warm weather presents both comfort and challenges for citizens across the country.&lt;/p&gt;
