The Pakistan Meteorological Department predicts that the Ramadan moon will appear at 2 p.m. on March 10 (Sunday).
According to the Met Office, the moon will be more than 28 hours old when it is visible the next day, March 11.
PMD said that the moon’s age increases the likelihood of a sighting on Monday.
According to tradition, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee would assemble in Islamabad, with zonal committees meeting in their respective territories, to receive and evaluate moon sighting reports and announce the sighting of the moon.
The holy month, which is commemorated with religious intensity and fervor, will see millions of Pakistanis, along with billions of Muslims throughout the world, fasting from sunrise to sunset.
Fasting hours range from 12 to 17 hours, depending on geographic area.
On March 11, the weather will stay gloomy in the central and upper sections of Sindh, the country’s southernmost province, due to the effect of the western wave, according to PMD.
The southeastern half of the province will see clear skies, while Balochistan is likely to stay gloomy.
The weather in the country’s top parts will stay gloomy due to the effect of the western wave. As a result, chances of seeing the moon will be slim, according to the Met Office.
