With a population of 312,426, Jhelum is a bustling industrial hub in northern Pakistan. The city's literacy rate of 79% is impressive, but bureaucracy remains a persistent headache. Jhelum's subtropical climate is extremely hot and humid in summer, with temperatures reaching up to 49.2°C. Frequent floods from the nearby Jhelum River also pose a risk. While the city has a rich military history and convenient transport links, the intense heat and red tape make Jhelum better suited for the hardy than the faint of heart.
