Lows of just a few degrees are being recorded in several regions of Punjab and the surrounding territories. Unverified reports on the internet indicate that Punjab cities may experience unusually heavy snowfall.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department has downplayed the predictions of extensive snowfall in Punjab, despite false information spreading on social media.
People have been advised to be cautious of erroneous information on social media by the Meteorological Department. Rather, they stress that there will continue to be a lot of fog in the plains of Punjab and KP, and that icy conditions are predicted in Kashmir, the upper regions of KP, and the Pothohar region, which includes Islamabad.
It is predicted that there will be mild showers and snowfall in GB and Chitral in mid-January. The midday high will not rise above average because of the fog. On cloudy days, travelers are recommended to use caution.
