With the arrival of Ramazan 2026, markets are bustling with preparations, and the public is also keeping an eye on changing weather conditions.

Meteorologists say the early days of Ramazan will be mild, but the heat is expected to increase as the month progresses.

According to Director General of the Pakistan Meteorological Department, Mehr Sahibzad Khan, the initial phase of Ramazan will bring relatively mild and dry conditions across most of the country.

In Islamabad, temperatures during the day are expected to stay between 22°C and 26°C, while pre-dawn and nighttime hours will feel slightly cool and pleasant for fasting citizens.

Gradual rise in heat during later weeks

Meteorologists predict that in the second decade of Ramazan, daytime temperatures will gradually rise, particularly in Islamabad and upper Punjab, reaching 28°C to 32°C. The sun’s intensity will be stronger during afternoons, although chances of rain remain low. Light clouds or brief showers, however, cannot be entirely ruled out.

The heat is expected to be more intense in Sindh and southern Punjab, where high humidity and occasional fog may make fasting more challenging. Citizens are advised to stay hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours, and plan outdoor activities carefully.

Meteorologists recommend that the public adjust daily routines, especially during fasting hours, to cope with rising temperatures. Early morning and evening prayers remain the best time for outdoor activities, while adequate water intake before Sehri and Iftar can help manage heat-related stress.
