NDMA Forecasts Light Rain in Islamabad, Surrounding Areas
— December 22, 2024
ISLAMABAD (AIA) The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has predicted cloudy skies with chances of light rain in the Potohar region, including Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Attock, and parts of northeastern Punjab, on December 23-24 (Monday-Tuesday).
According to the NDMA’s National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) weather outlook for December 21-26, most parts of Punjab will experience cold and dry conditions. However, smog and fog are likely to persist in the plains, potentially reducing visibility and impacting travel.
In Balochistan and Sindh, cold and dry weather is expected throughout the week, while Khyber Pakhtunkhwa may experience isolated rainfall in some areas, with snowfall likely in the hilly regions. Similarly, Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir are forecasted to witness cold weather, with isolated rain and snowfall in the mountainous areas.
The NDMA has advised local authorities, emergency responders, and the public to remain alert and take precautionary measures. Residents in northern and hilly areas are urged to be cautious while travelling due to slippery roads and reduced visibility. People in smog-affected regions should limit outdoor activities and take protective steps in low-visibility conditions.
The NDMA also recommended using the Pak NDMA Disaster Alert App for real-time alerts, safety tips, and weather updates.
