“While Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is expected to experience cold conditions with isolated rainfall in various areas. Snowfall is likely over the province’s hilly regions,” as per the forecast.
Similarly, NDMA predicted mainly cold weather, with isolated rain and snowfall over the hills in Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
NDMA’s National Emergency Operations Center (NEOC), in a statement, has advised local authorities, emergency responders, and the public to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions during this period.
Moreover, the authority urged the residents of northern and hilly areas to “exercise caution while traveling” due to the risk of slippery roads and reduced visibility.
“People in smog-affected regions should limit outdoor exposure and adopt protective measures in low-visibility conditions,” the authority said in an advisory.
