Meteorologists said a Western Disturbance is currently seen as a cyclonic circulation over north Synoptic Pakistan and adjoining Punjab, extending between 3.1 km and 4.5 km above mean sea level. The associated trough in the middle and upper tropospheric westerlies lies around 5.8 km above mean sea level, roughly along longitude 70°E and north of latitude 25°N.
