Climate Overview:

1. Temperature and Rainfall Distribution:


o Patterns of temperature and rainfall across Pakistan.
o Types of rainfall:
 Monsoon: Major rainfall in summer, affecting mainly eastern Pakistan.
 Western Depressions: Winter rain, affecting western and northern areas.
 Convectional Rain: Typically short, intense showers, often in
mountainous or highland areas.
2. Seasonal and Regional Variations:
o Seasonal Differences:
 Hot, dry summers and cool to cold winters in the northern mountains.
 Humid monsoon season in the northeast and central regions.
o Regional Factors:
 Thunderstorms, cyclones (typhoons) in coastal and southern regions.
 Depressions affecting rainfall patterns in Balochistan and Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa.
3. Monsoon Causes:
o Low Pressure Overland: Summer heat creates low pressure in Pakistan and
northern India.
o High Pressure Over Ocean: Oceanic high pressure pushes moisture-laden winds
inland, causing heavy rains in summer.
4. Regional Climate Characteristics:
o Arid: Extremely hot, very low rainfall (e.g., Nok Kundi, Balochistan).
o Semi-Arid: Hot summers, mild winters, moderate rainfall (e.g., parts of Punjab).
o Humid: High humidity, heavy rainfall in summer (e.g., northeast Punjab,
Murree).
o Highland: Cool to cold throughout the year, with snowfall in winter (e.g., Gilgit-
Baltistan).
5. Latitude and Longitude Influence:
o Latitude affects seasonal day length and solar intensity.
o Longitude determines time zones but has minimal impact on climate directly.
6. Climate Influence on Economy and Daily Life:
o Mountains:
 Low temperatures, ice, and snow limit agricultural activities and isolate
communities in winter.
o Rain Storms and Flooding:
 Positive: Increases soil fertility, fills reservoirs.
 Negative: Damages crops, disrupts industry, transportation, and
communication systems.
o Drought and Water Shortage:
 Hinders agricultural output, limiting food and cash crop production.
 Affects industrial processes reliant on consistent water supply.
