The Pakistan Meteorological Department has predicted that most areas will experience cold and dry weather today, with rain and snowfall expected in Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and northwestern Balochistan.

A cold wave is sweeping across Pakistan, with significant snowfall reported in upper regions such as Shogran, Bagh, and the Swat, leading to a dramatic drop in temperatures.

The chill has also reached Karachi, where cool winds have made conditions even colder.

Severe cold is being felt from Balochistan to Khyber, with recent rain and snowfall disrupting daily life in various districts. In Bagh city, the combination of rain and snow has intensified the cold, leaving residents in areas like Ganga Choti, Lasdana, Hajipir, and Toli Peer feeling confined to their homes.

Intermittent snowfall in Shogran has enhanced the area’s natural beauty, attracting attention despite the cold. In Balochistan, light rain and snowfall that persisted for three days have finally subsided, but cities including Quetta, Ziarat, Chaman, Pishin, Qilla Abdullah, and Qilla Saifullah remain shrouded in freezing temperatures.

In Karachi, the weather remains cold and dry, with a recorded minimum temperature of 13.5 degrees Celsius and a current temperature of 15 degrees Celsius. Northeastern winds are blowing at 7 kilometers per hour, contributing to the chill.
