Isothermic Dynamics
Daily maximum temperatures from 1981-2008 for generally dry summer period from April to June over northern areas of Pakistan, were analyzed on pentad basis.

What is RISQ-Online
The transparency platform of Pakistan is a working tool for national stakeholders on climate change. It accompanies the work on GHG inventories and help the tracking of actions and supports.
It contains two large separate modules, the first one is dedicated to GHG inventories, the second to actions (Policies and Measures) and supports.
- The term "inventory" is used for the module named "Inventories"., it is an object containing all the data associated with a GHG inventory. The platform can contain many inventories.
- The term "edition" is used for the module named "Actions and Supports". It is an object containing all information on actions and supports. The platform can contain many editions.
Note: the adaptation module has been designed for the Food&Agriculte sector as a first step and is still under experimentation; it is expected to be further developed, through a “learning by doing” approach, in alignment with other national initiatives (notably the development of the National Adaptation Plan and the revision of the National Climate Change Policy)
"Inventories" and "editions" are independent. The roles associated with the two modules are also distinct.
Snowmelt Flood
Sub-indicator presented and calculated based on river discharge (in cusecs) for river Kabul and Indus) from June 15th to June 30th.
Seasonal mean temperature
Change in mean temperature (°C) in winter, summer and annual.
Heat Wave Duration
Heat wave: Number of days when, for some consecutive days, the temperature is greater than a certain threshold, keeping in view the climatology of the station.
The number of days counted as heat wave days when, for at least 6 consecutive days, the Tmax ≥ 90th percentile of the temperature records in a year
Severe Heat Wave=Five consecutive Days with Daily Maximum Temperature ≥ 40°C
Moderate Heat Wave= Five consecutive Days with Daily Maximum Temperature ≥ 35°C and <40°C
Cold Wave Duration
Number of days when, for at least 6 days, the minimum temperature remains less than a threshold value.
The number of days counted as cold wave days when, for at least 6 days, the Tmin ≤ 10th percentile of the temperature records in a year
Minimum temperature index (TN10P)
Percentage of days when minimum temperature is less than 10th percentile.
Diurnal Temperature Range (DTR)
Difference of daytime maximum temperature and night time minimum temperature
