The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has shared some good news for Karachiites during Ramadan, a month when Muslims around the world worship and fast.
Chief Meteorologist Sardar Sarfaraz told Geo News that the intensity of the heat is expected to decrease during the first ten days of the holy month.
Pakistan will most likely observe the first day of Ramadan on March 23, according to Sarfaraz, as the country prepares for the holy month’s festivities and prayers.
The weatherman predicted that the holy month of Ramadan would fall on March 23, so the first fast would most likely be observed on Thursday.
He did, however, state that the sky should remain clear so that the moon can be seen clearly.
The Ministry of Religious Affairs and Interfaith Harmony has also announced that the Ramadan moonsighting meeting will take place on March 22.
The meeting, which will take place after the Asr prayer at the Provincial Auqaf Department in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, will be presided over by Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee Chairman Moulana Syed Abdul Khabir Azad.
Meanwhile, the weatherman told Geo News that some areas of Karachi will continue to receive rain until March 20, while also noting that the country has received more rain in the last two or three years.
However, he added that this year, Pakistan may experience fewer downpours than in 2022.
