The Punjab Meteorological Department has issued a rain alert for 16 districts, forecasting light to moderate showers and increased fog in the early and late hours.
The Punjab Meteorological Department released a weather alert on Saturday, warning that 16 districts across the state could experience light to moderate rainfall today. The forecast covers districts ranging from Amritsar in the north to Bathinda in the south, with precipitation expected to begin in the late morning and continue into the evening.
In addition to rain, the department highlighted the likelihood of dense fog during the early morning and late evening hours. The combination of moisture and low visibility is expected to affect road travel, especially on highways and rural routes, and could cause minor disruptions to daily commuting.
Authorities have advised commuters to exercise caution, use fog lights where required, and avoid non‑essential travel during peak fog periods. Farmers have been reminded to protect crops that are sensitive to excess moisture, while the irrigation department stands ready to assist where needed.
The alert remains in effect until further notice, and the department will issue updates if weather conditions change significantly.
