The Meteorological Department warns of worsening smog if Islamabad misses rain today. A prolonged dry spell will follow, intensifying pollution and visibility issues.
Rain Predictions
Rain may fall in Islamabad and the Potohar region today or tomorrow. Without it, the city will stay dry for a week, making air quality worse.
Air Quality Levels
Islamabad’s Air Quality Index (AQI) has hit 258, which is 36.6% above safe levels. This increase poses serious health risks.
Smog in Punjab Cities
Many Punjab cities, like Lahore, Kasur, Okara, and Sialkot, are facing smog and fog issues. Rain in Rawalpindi, Murree, and Galiyat might offer relief.
Weather in Other Regions
- Northern areas, such as Chitral, Swat, and Dir, expect rain and snow.
- Sindh will remain dry, while Quetta and Ziarat in northern Balochistan might see light rain.
Impact of Dry Weather
Dry weather will worsen pollution and reduce visibility. The lack of rain increases health risks and air quality concerns.
The department urges people to stay cautious and hopes for rain to bring relief.
