Apropos to Pakistan Meteorological Department's (PMD) prediction on weather conditions, the daytime temperature in most of the country is likely to increase in next 4-5 days from Sunday 05 June to Thursday 09 June 2022. As per PMD forecast, heatwave conditions will prevail in Islamabad, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, Sindh and Eastern Balochistan in coming week owing to significant rise in temperature above normal. Moreover, PMD has forcasted that high temperature will be followed by storms as well as dust winds in afternoon or evening. Consequently, week-long heatwave condition may lead to water stress on reservoirs, standing crops and vegetation. In light of above, NDMA has directed relevant departments to ensure necessary preventive measures. PDMAs/ DDMAs have also been instructed to coordinate with relevant departments for mitigation and immediate response to any disastrous conditions. General public is also advised to avoid unnecessary exposure to sunlight. ?
