What it means for kite flying
- Afternoons are usually the best flying window once fog lifts and the air warms.
- Light winter breezes suit the Patang. Stronger gusts on clear days favour the Gudda.
- Rain or heavy fog can stop flying for the day. Plan flexible rooftop timings.
What to wear and pack
- Warm layers: a jacket or shawl for mornings and evenings.
- Gloves for handling dor, which also keep hands warm.
- Sunglasses and sunscreen for bright afternoons on the roof.
- A small umbrella in case of showers.
کیا پہنیں
صبح شام کے لیے جیکٹ یا شال، ڈور پکڑنے کے لیے دستانے، اور دھوپ کے لیے عینک ساتھ رکھیں۔
Fog and travel
Winter fog can close motorways and delay flights into Lahore, especially in the early morning. If you are driving from another city, travel in daylight and check motorway updates. If flying in, allow a buffer day before you want to be on a rooftop.
