Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecast further rainfall in Punjab and Islamabad on Friday, while light drizzle is expected along Sindh’s coastal belt, including Karachi.
The fresh forecast comes as heavy rain continues to cause disruption in parts of northern Pakistan, where flash floods have affected communities and road links in Gilgit-Baltistan.
Flash Floods Hit Diamer
Intense rainfall has triggered flash flooding in several parts of Diamer district, including Niat Valley, Loshi, Babusar and Gais Bala.
Floodwaters have caused widespread disruption and forced the closure of the Karakoram Highway at Gini, suspending traffic on that section of the route.
The disruption adds to challenges already facing flood-affected communities across northern regions.
Restoration Work Continues in Chitral
Authorities are continuing restoration work in flood-affected union councils of Broz, Garam Chashma, Shasha and Gumbas Gol in Chitral.
The Mastuj-Gilgit Road has, however, been reopened for light vehicles, providing some relief for local movement and connectivity.
Lahore Rain Forecast for Next 24 Hours
Lahore is currently experiencing partly cloudy conditions, accompanied by cool winds.
The Met Office has forecast rain in the city during the next 24 hours.
The current temperature was recorded at 29°C, with a maximum of 33°C and a minimum near 27°C expected.
Winds are blowing at around 8 kilometres per hour, while humidity stands at 79%, according to the PMD.

Karachi Could See Light Drizzle
Sindh’s coastal belt, including Karachi, is expected to receive light drizzle rather than heavy rain under the current forecast.
The distinction is important because the most severe weather impacts mentioned in the current update are concentrated in northern areas, particularly parts of Gilgit-Baltistan.
