The office alerted the citizens to the very hot and dry weather forecast for the week across the country. "The plain areas of Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhawa, Balochistan and Sindh will be the centre of heat where day temperatures will cross over 45°C and central parts will touch a critical level of 50°C. Temperatures in mountainous areas of Gilgit-Baltistan and AJK will also rise by 4-5°C above average resulting into rapid melting of snow and glaciers," it said.
