The first overall significant drop in temperature in the country has occurred on December 19 night, temperature will further drop during the last days/week of December as stated on the Facebook page during last week of November. Pakistan may continue to experience dry days as no ‘proper’ winter rains/snow is seen till the end of 2013 however isolated showers/rain activity cannot be ruled out! The dry weather has led to severe fog conditions over the plains of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Is there any rain coming?
