The general public particularly children, senior citizens, and women have been advised to minimize exposure to direct sunlight, avoid outdoor activities during peak hours, and consume extra fluids to prevent dehydration.
Guidance for Farmers and Authorities
In addition to health advisories, farmers have been urged to adjust their field operations based on the projected temperature surge.
The department has also flagged concerns over accelerated glacial melt in northern areas, warning that this could lead to fluctuating water availability downstream, especially in the Indus basin region.
