Amid rumours spreading through SMS about danger of nuclear clouds and acid rain after two hydrogen explosions driven by earthquake at the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant in Japan, the weather experts have said it is highly unlikely that any radiation capable of causing harm to people can travel long distance and survive more than few days in the atmosphere.
Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) Director General Arif Mahmood told The News that the text messages do not make any sense because only Westerly winds hit areas of Pakistan from December to April and Japan lies in North East so there is no wind phenomenon that can bring winds or clouds from Japan towards this region.
