As temperatures approach freezing, icy conditions can develop, especially on roadways where elevation is higher, and bridges and overpasses.

Avoid driving in very bad weather conditions especially during heavy snowfall unless essential. But if you must drive, here’s how to make sure you and your car are as prepared as possible and what to do if you are caught out in bad weather in swat valley.

• Plan journeys according to the weather forecast to have a better understanding of what you would expect.
• Plan your journeys on and around major roads, which are more likely to be cleared of snow, ice, and other dangerous obstructions. Avoid shortcuts on minor roads.
• Allow extra time – The snowfall itself or the black ice forms on roadways thereafter causes extreme delays. Get up earlier to allow time to de-ice the car and allow much longer for journeys.
• Wear warm clothes and comfortable shoes to drive in.

Note: The snowsports season varies each year, but generally, it runs from November to April. The swat ski resort at Malam Jabba provides some of the best value snowboarding and skiing in Pakistan and in the rest of Asia.

Tips When Traveling in Cold Climates

• Wear warm clothing in several loose layers.
• Wear a tightly woven, preferably wind-resistant coat or jacket; inner layers of light, warm clothing; mittens; hats; and scarves.
• In wet conditions, shoes should be waterproof and have good traction.
• Wear safety equipment to keep you warm and dry when engaging in adventure activities in cold weather or around cold water.
• Stay dry wet clothing chills the body rapidly. Too much perspiration will increase heat loss, so remove extra layers of clothing whenever you feel too warm.
• Do not ignore shivering. It’s an important first sign that the body is losing heat. Persistent shivering is a signal to return indoors.

”Extreme cold” means cold temperatures drop well below normal for a region. When temperatures are much lower than normal, heat can leave your body more quickly. Heat loss can lead to serious health effects, like hypothermia and frostbite.
