A portfolio meteorological system should enter Pakistan between January 31 and February 1, providing cooler temperatures and relief from the current drought period, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has planned.
According to the PMD, the dry time has prevailed through Punjab, resulting in a gradual increase in temperatures.
Lahore and several higher districts of Punjab are likely to receive light precipitation in the coming days, which could temporarily lower the temperature.
The approaching rain system should restore a certain winter cooling, reducing daytime heat.
However, meteorologists warn that climate change has shortened the duration of winter this year, leading to unusually hot afternoons and colder nights.
Lahore recorded a minimum temperature of 7 ° C today, with a maximum planned to reach 24 ° C.
The dry time has caused a gradual increase in temperatures, and experts say that precipitation will be necessary to maintain a seasonal balance.
The authorities advise residents to prepare to fluctuate weather conditions, as rain showers could have an impact on daily activities in certain regions.
The cold leads to the demand for dried fruit
The demand for dried fruit has increased in the federal capital while the winter season continues to become cooler every passing day.
Some people use dried fruits in specially prepared dishes in winter, such as “Gajar Ka Halwa” (a sweet dish in carrots), Sohan Halwa (a sweet with versatile flour, milk and dried fruit) etc.
Bakeries and sweet shops also include dried fruit in candy to make them tasty and healthy.
Whatever the price, the demand for dried fruit was at its peak because a customer rush was spotted in several dried fruit stores.
A seller of dried fruit, Perviz Khan, said: “The demand for dried fruit is at its peak” because people like to eat them in winter, and this also reduces the effect of cold air on the body. He also said that compared to last year, most items have increased due to an increase in prices for services used for dried fruit cultivation and also to reach end users, such as transport , workforce, etc.
