The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast that predominantly hot and humid weather conditions will persist across most plain areas of the country. However, under the influence of penetrating moist currents, upper regions—including parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Northeast Punjab, Potohar region, Islamabad, and Kashmir—are expected to receive isolated rain, windstorms, and thundershowers during the afternoon and evening hours, offering localized respite from the summer heat.
According to the Met Office, the ongoing weather pattern is driven by active moisture inflows originating from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, which are mixing with a westerly wave affecting the upper latitudes of the country. While southern and central districts of Punjab, Sindh, and Balochistan will continue to experience intense heat and high humidity levels, regional systems are building up precipitation potential in mountainous and sub-mountainous territories, with a 30% probability of rainfall estimated for the federal capital and its adjoining areas.
In light of the shifting atmospheric conditions, the PMD has issued safety advisories for administrative bodies and the general public regarding localized weather hazards. Forecasters warned that sudden windstorms and severe lightning could pose risks to weak public infrastructure, including solar panels, electricity poles, and electronic billboards. Furthermore, the authorities have urged tourists traveling through vulnerable northern terrains to remain cautious of sudden weather changes, while farmers are advised to manage their daily crop and livestock routines in accordance with regional forecasts.
