25-year-old record on Sunday has been broken in Skardu as the cold wave has continued to grip various parts of Pakistan.

According to details, the small canals and ponds in Skardu have been frozen due to severe low temperature while the intermittent snowfall has also blocked the main connecting roads.

On the other hand, fog has been reported in most plain areas of Punjab and upper Sindh while in few districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Smooth flow of road, rail and air traffic has been disrupted due to reduced visibility caused by fog.

The National Highways and Motorway police have advised commuters to avoid unnecessary travel and use Humsafar mobile app for quick information about major routes.

Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast cold and dry weather today in the country while very cold in upper areas.

Dense fog is likely to prevail in most plain areas of Punjab and upper Sindh while in few districts of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa during morning and night hours.
