“The northern cities will also experience day and night temperatures in the range of 28 to 34 and 10 to 16 degrees Celsius respectively.
“Deterioration in visibility is envisaged over the northern and central cities due to fresh dust that was raised over the source region while sunny and hazy condition is expected over the inland cities.
