Jhang will stay sunny and dry today, Sunday 8 November 2026, with the temperature climbing to 30°C in the afternoon, but the air has turned worse again, with the air quality index rising to 190, which falls in the Unhealthy range.
The morning began bright and clear. At 9am the temperature stood at 22°C with humidity at 76 per cent and a light easterly breeze of about 5 kilometres per hour. The sun will push temperatures up through the late morning, reaching 25°C by 10am and 27°C by 11am, before settling near 28°C at noon.
The warmest part of the day arrives in the early afternoon. The forecast puts the temperature at 29°C at 1pm and 30°C at both 2pm and 3pm, with humidity dropping to about 47 per cent. Conditions stay mostly sunny through the afternoon, and the breeze picks up slightly from the east-northeast, reaching about 8 kilometres per hour by 3pm.
Evening brings a steady cool-down. The temperature eases to 29°C at 4pm, 28°C at 5pm and 26°C by 6pm, with the sky turning mostly clear. By 9pm it will be around 23°C, falling to 22°C by 11pm. The overnight low is 18°C. Sunrise today was at 6:32am and sunset will be at 5:16pm. There is no rain expected at any point today, with the chance of rain at or near zero through the day and only a small chance overnight.
The air quality is the part of the forecast that needs attention. The live reading for Jhang Sadar puts the air quality index at 190, rated Unhealthy, with fine particulate matter, PM2.5, named as the main pollutant. That is worse than yesterday, when the index stood at 155. At this level the air is not considered satisfactory, and people with heart or lung conditions, older residents and children are advised to limit long or strenuous time outdoors and to wear a mask when they do go out. The reading follows a difficult week for the district’s air: Jhang recorded an index of 678 earlier in the week, the highest in Punjab at the time, before improving sharply on Friday and Saturday. With no rain in the forecast today, the haze is likely to linger.
Looking ahead, tomorrow, Monday 9 November, is expected to be partly cloudy with a high of 30°C and a low of 17°C, and a 10 per cent chance of rain. Schools across Punjab will remain closed tomorrow for Iqbal Day, as already announced by the education department. The weather office’s longer outlook keeps conditions dry for the next few days, so the smog is unlikely to clear on its own. The district administration’s anti-smog drive continues, with action ordered against brick kilns, crop burning and smoky vehicles.
