Certain areas of Punjab and nearby regions are currently grappling with extremely cold weather, witnessing temperatures plummeting into single digits.
While there are online rumors suggesting an unusual snowfall covering Punjab cities, these reports remain unverified.
Contrary to the circulating misinformation on social media, the Pakistan Meteorological Department has refuted forecasts indicating widespread snow in Punjab. They caution the public to exercise caution and discern false information on social platforms. Instead, the Meteorological Department underscores the persistence of thick fog in the plains of Punjab and KP, with chilly conditions anticipated in the upper parts of KP, the Pothohar region including Islamabad, and Kashmir.
In mid-January, there are expectations of light showers and snowfall in Chitral and GB. Owing to the foggy conditions, daytime temperatures are anticipated to remain below normal. Travelers are advised to exercise caution, especially on foggy days.
