A westerly weather system entering the country from January 18 is likely to bring snowfall to upper areas of Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"494\" data-end=\"620\">The system is also expected to cause rain in several parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, western Balochistan, and the Potohar region.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"881\">For the next three to four days, weather in most parts of the country is likely to remain cold and dry, with a normal increase in cold intensity. During this period, a strong cold wave and dense fog are expected to intensify in the plains of Punjab and Sindh.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"1024\">Due to southward-moving Siberian winds, temperatures are likely to drop further, triggering a severe cold wave in northern parts of Pakistan.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1026\" data-end=\"1191\">The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is issuing advance alerts and instructions to relevant departments regarding possible risks and weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1193\" data-end=\"1337\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">For verified weather updates, potential risks, and safety guidelines, the public has been advised to use the Pak NDMA Disaster Alert mobile app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ISLAMABAD, Jan 12 (APP): Experts at the NDMA\u2019s National Emergencies Operation Center (NEOC) on Monday categorically rejected reports about snowfall in the plains as irresponsible and baseless.
