ISLAMABAD: The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has predicted light rainfall in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and adjacent districts on December 23-24.

The authority forecasted cloudy weather with chances of light rain in Attock, and northeastern parts of Punjab from Monday to Tuesday.

According to NDMA’s weather projection for December 21-26, cold and dry conditions are expected across most parts of Punjab.

“Smog and fog will likely persist in the plains of Punjab through December 26, 2024, potentially reducing visibility and impacting travel,” the disaster management authority said. “Cold and dry weather is predicted throughout the forecast period in Balochistan and Sindh.”

“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.
