Winter has marked its arrival over Pakistan. This is clear from the fact as the mercury has dropped few notches. Besides this, the existence of fog can be witnessed in parts during the morning hours.
In the past 24 hours, mainly dry and cold weather prevailed. These weather conditions could be attributed to the feeble Western Disturbance that lies as an upper air system over North Pakistan and adjoining Afghanistan. Also, dry and cold westerly winds continue to blow over the region.
