High ambient temperatures in Pakistan can put extra pressure on the radiator:

Increased coolant temperature: Hot weather can cause the radiator to work harder to keep the engine cool, leading to faster wear and tear.
Accelerated leaks: Overheating can cause hoses to dry out and crack o r radiator components to fail sooner.

To protect your radiator, ensure regular coolant checks, flushes, and inspections to prevent overheating and leaks.
