All around the country, temperatures are expected to stay quite high, especially in Gilgit-Baltistan and western Balochistan. The warm, muggy weather may encourage the reproduction of dengue larvae, endangering public health.
Rising temperatures in higher alpine regions pose a grave risk of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) in susceptible areas.
Furthermore, the prognosis suggested that there would be sporadic showers along with windstorms and hail, which could interfere with the harvesting of Kharif crops.
