Regions of Pakistan concerning Temperature:

Pakistan is divided into four regions concerning different land features.

The four regions are as follows:

• The North and North-West Mountainous region]
• The Upper Indus Plain
• The Coastal Area of Lower Indus Valley
• The Plateau of Balochistan

1. The North and North-Western Mountainous region:

The winters are extremely cold in the north and north-west areas of Pakistan. The temperature falls below the freezing point. For example, the average temperature of Skardu in January is below freezing-point. In most of the areas, it snows heavily and it is extremely cold. However, the summers are pleasant.

2. The Upper Indus Plain:

The Upper Indus Plain has a specific land climate. The plain areas are too hot during the summer. Heat-waves appear during day-time in May, June and July. Occasionally it rains along with winds. June is the hottest month. Sometimes, the temperature exceeds 50 C. However, during the winters, the temperature decreases and the weather becomes pleasant.

3. The Coastal Areas of Lower Indus Valley:

In the coastal areas of Pakistan, land breeze and sea breezes decrease the intensity of heat. Due to this factor, the summers in these areas are not extreme. The average temperature is about 32 C. These areas experience rare cold weather.

4. The Plateau of Balochistan:

During winters, this region is extremely cold. However, during summers, the temperature is much higher as compared to that of northern hilly areas. The Plateau of Balochistan has the areas like Sibbi where the temperature in summer rises to an unbearable degree. Sometimes, when the winds coming from north reach Balochistan, they cause extremely cold weather.
