The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted a winter season with below-average rainfall across the country. According to Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz Khan, the situation will be particularly dry in Balochistan, where no rainfall is expected throughout December.
Looking ahead, Khan mentioned that a rain system could develop in early January, potentially bringing some rain and snow to northern Balochistan. However, for the remainder of the winter, precipitation levels are predicted to stay below normal, which could have a negative impact on water resources and agriculture in the region.
