The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) of Punjab has issued a stark warning regarding an imminent heatwave expected to hit the region this April. This alert comes amidst Pakistan’s position among the top 10 countries most vulnerable to climate change globally, with South Asian nations experiencing unpredictable weather patterns in recent years.
According to PDMA reports, temperatures are set to soar above the average recorded over the past three decades. The plain areas of the province, particularly major cities, are anticipated to bear the brunt of these intense heatwaves.
In response, PDMA Punjab Director-General Irfan Ali Kathia has urged the public to take precautionary measures to mitigate the adverse effects of this anticipated heatwave surge. The authority emphasizes the importance of remaining vigilant, especially for rescue organizations and district administrations, in preparing for seasonal fluctuations and potential weather-related emergencies.
Additionally, the department predicts other weather phenomena such as strong winds, dust storms, torrential rain, and hail across the province during April. This comprehensive warning underscores the need for proactive measures to safeguard lives and property.
As Punjab gears up to face these weather challenges, citizens are advised to stay informed about weather changes and adhere to safety guidelines provided by local authorities. By staying prepared and taking necessary precautions, the community can better cope with the upcoming weather adversities.
