It can cause temperatures to rise to over 40 degrees Celsius and can lead to dehydration and heatstroke. The &#8216;loo&#8217; is caused by a high-pressure system over the Himalayas that pushes hot air down into the plains of Punjab. The wind is often accompanied by dust storms and can cause respiratory problems.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The &#8216;loo&#8217; does not affect Punjab during the winter months.
