The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted that Eidul Adha 2024 is likely to be observed on June 17, falling on a Monday.
The PMD's Climate Data Processing Centre has predicted that the crescent moon for Dhul-Hijjah will be born on June 6 at 5:38 PM.
According to the PMD, the moon's age in Karachi at sunset will be 26 hours and 8 minutes, with an expected visibility duration of 72 minutes after sunset. Despite these forecasts, the Central Ruet-e-Hilal Committee will make the final decision regarding the moon sighting.
Holiday schedule
The official 2024 holiday calendar has earmarked the Eidul Adha holidays from June 17 to 19. Given the tendency of most government offices to remain closed on Saturdays and Sundays, the holiday period will effectively commence on June 15.
However, in the event that Eidul Adha is confirmed for June 18, the federal government is expected to adjust the holiday schedule accordingly. A formal notification detailing the revised holidays will be issued by the federal government in the days leading up to Eidul Adha.
