The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted that the weather in most parts of Pakistan is expected to be hot and dry during the early days of Ramzan 2026.
Officials say there is little to no chance of rainfall during the first 10 days of the holy month.
Daytime conditions are likely to remain dry across much of the country, with temperatures gradually rising.
Regional differences
PMD Deputy Director Irfan Virk said cities such as Lahore and Islamabad are expected to see temperatures remain below 30°C at the start of Ramzan.
In contrast, the southern parts of the country are forecast to face warmer conditions.
Areas of Sindh and southern Punjab could record temperatures of around 35°C, making fasting hours more challenging in those regions.
Meteorologists say the absence of rainfall means there will be limited natural cooling, especially in areas already prone to heat.
Karachi weather
There is a slight possibility of light rain in Karachi. Senior official Anjum Nazir said a new wave of westerly winds may bring brief showers to the port city.
However, forecasters caution that any rainfall is unlikely to change the overall warm and dry pattern.
In Karachi, temperatures during the first 20 days of Ramzan are expected to range between 32°C and 34°C.
Impact, precautions
Higher temperatures can increase the risk of dehydration and heat-related illness, particularly for people who work outdoors.
Students and office workers in non-air-conditioned spaces may also feel the strain during long fasting hours.
Looking ahead, the PMD expects temperatures to rise further in the final 10 days of Ramzan.
Authorities are advising people to stay hydrated during non-fasting hours, avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun, and take extra care of children and the elderly.
While the forecast reflects typical seasonal patterns, officials say preparation and caution will be important as the month progresses.
