As Pakistan celebrates the first day of Eid-ul-Adha, the country is bracing for extremely hot and dry weather conditions, with the Met Department warning of soaring daytime temperatures across most regions.
According to the Met Office, the weather will remain intensely hot in Islamabad and much of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan will continue to sizzle under clear skies and blazing sunshine.
