PMD rejects reports of ‘Heat Burst’ and ‘super El Niño’
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has clarified that reports circulating on social and electronic media about a “heat burst” and “super El Niño” in South Punjab are not based on official information. The department said it has not issued any advisory regarding such conditions.
According to the PMD, a heat burst is described as a sudden rise in temperature by 10 to 20 degrees Celsius within 5 to 10 minutes.
This happens sometimes, even during the night, along with very low humidity and difficult breathing conditions. However, the department stressed that no such warning has been issued.
The PMD said all its forecasts and updates are based only on verified and authentic data. It further warned that unconfirmed reports can create unnecessary fear and panic among the public.
People have been advised to rely only on the official website and sources of the Pakistan Meteorological Department for accurate weather information and to ignore unverified news and rumours.
