According to the PDMA, the weather in Lahore and surrounding areas is expected to remain pleasant during the festival. From February 6 to 8, Lahore will experience dry weather with partly cloudy skies. The temperature is expected to hover between 20 to 22 degrees Celsius, providing an ideal setting for kite flying.
