Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), yesterday predicted pre-monsoon rains with dust thunderstorms, in upper and central parts of the country, alongside occasional gaps from Sunday to next Friday.
The prevailing heat wave conditions in most parts of Pakistan, which started this week, are likely to subside from Sunday, the PMD said in a statement.
The department said, moist currents from the Arabian Sea are penetrating in upper and central parts of the country, while a westerly wave is likely to enter in upper parts of Pakistan on Jun 25.
During the prevailing heat wave, the PMD forecasted daytime temperatures to likely remain 4-6 degrees Celsius above normal, in upper and central parts, and 2-4 degrees Celsius above normal, in southern and south-western parts of Pakistan.
In the wake of the heat wave, the weather agency advised the general public to avoid unnecessary exposure to direct sunlight.
Additionally, the PMD predicted an increase in power and water supply demand, due to a rise in temperature, for which it urged the farmers to manage the watering of their crops accordingly
