There is no let-up in the ongoing heat spell in Punjab, where hot and dry weather continues to grip the province, with temperatures steadily rising, sources said on Sunday.

According to the Meteorological Department, the maximum temperature is expected to reach around 37°C during the day, while humidity is recorded at 40%.

The department has forecast continued hot and dry weather across Punjab over the next 24 hours.

However, rain accompanied by strong winds is expected in Murree, the Galiyat region, and surrounding areas during the same period.

The weather forecast for other parts of the country shows mixed conditions.

Gilgit-Baltistan, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Kashmir are expected to receive rain.

Islamabad, however, is likely to remain hot and mostly dry.

Elsewhere, the hot conditions will prevail. Sindh and most parts of Punjab are expected to stay hot and dry, with dusty winds likely to affect visibility in some areas.

Southern areas of Balochistan will continue to experience hot and dry weather, with a change in the weather pattern unlikely.
