Below-normal rainfall, above-normal temperatures expected in most parts of country from June to August: PMD

The Pakistan Meteorological Department predicts below-normal rainfall and above-normal temperatures for most of the country from June to August. This forecast is attributed to the expected strengthening of the El Nino phenomenon and a shift in the Indian Ocean Dipole from neutral to positive phases. Such weather patterns can significantly impact agriculture, water resources, and energy needs, raising concerns about potential drought conditions and increased water scarcity. This weather outlook is crucial for planning and preparing for the agricultural and economic sectors in the country.
