    In an exclusive weather revelation, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted a delightful spectacle of more rains and snowfall to grace the picturesque landscapes of Murree and Galliyat over the next two days.

    Analyzing the synoptic situation, a gentle westerly wave is currently making its presence felt across Pakistan’s western and upper regions. This atmospheric phenomenon anticipated to persist in the upper parts of the country for the next few days, promising a whimsical dance of rain and snow in the enchanting locales of Murree.

    As the weather paints a canvas of tranquility, Murree poised to experience a magical transformation on Tuesday night, continuing through Wednesday and Thursday. However, this spellbinding snowfall might pose transportation challenges on Tuesday night and Wednesday, prompting a word of caution for the intrepid tourists venturing into these mesmerizing landscapes.

    Embracing the wintry chill, Murree’s minimum temperature expected to gracefully sway between 00-02 degrees Celsius on both Wednesday and Thursday. Meanwhile, the past 24 hours witnessed Murree and Galliyat shrouded in freezing weather, with the mercury gracefully touching the freezing point. The morning air was laden with a refreshing 59 per cent relative humidity, adding a mystical touch to the already enchanting ambiance.

    The snowfall, a rare spectacle for the winter season, drew throngs of tourists to Malika-e-Kohsar and Galliyat. However, the surge in visitors led to a traffic spectacle, causing temporary chaos on the winding roads of Murree and Galliyat.

    As the winter wonderland unfolded, hotels and restaurants seized the opportunity to enhance room rent and commodities prices, a strategic move to capitalize on the surge in demand. However, this commercial maneuver met with mixed reactions from tourists, who voiced concerns about the soaring prices of commodities and reported instances of perceived indifference from service providers.

    Amid this ethereal winter experience, tourists advised to navigate these breathtaking landscapes with caution, both in terms of the whimsical weather conditions and the varying commercial dynamics at play. As Murree and Galliyat bask in the glory of this winter spell, the stage set for an unforgettable experience for those who dare to embrace the magic of the season.
