Rainfall across several areas of Punjab has intensified the cold following showers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecast more rain, strong winds and possible hailstorms in Islamabad and other northern regions.
According to the Met Department, heavy rain affected Narowal, Shakargarh, Kartarpur, Noorkot and nearby areas. The showers brought a noticeable increase in the intensity of cold weather. Residents in these areas experienced a change in weather conditions after the rainfall.
Meanwhile, dark clouds covered Islamabad from the morning. Light rain was also reported in some parts of the federal capital. The changing weather has raised the possibility of further showers during the day.
The Met Department said westerly winds were influencing weather conditions across the country’s upper regions. These winds could bring additional rainfall and strong gusts to Islamabad and surrounding areas. Hailstorms are also possible at isolated locations.
Rain Forecast for Upper Punjab and Northern Areas
The weather department has predicted scattered rain in upper Punjab, Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Some locations may also experience hailstorms. The forecast indicates that changing weather conditions could continue across several northern areas.
The expected rainfall may further intensify the cold in parts of Punjab. Areas that have already received showers could experience additional changes in temperature and local weather conditions. However, the intensity of rainfall may vary between locations.
Residents in Islamabad and nearby areas should follow official weather updates as conditions develop. The possibility of strong winds and hailstorms means local weather conditions could change during the forecast period.
The latest forecast also covers areas beyond Punjab. Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan are expected to receive scattered showers, while some locations may experience hail. These conditions are linked to the westerly weather system affecting the country’s upper regions.
Mostly Dry Weather Expected Elsewhere
Despite the rain forecast for northern areas, most other parts of Pakistan are expected to remain dry. The Met Department has indicated that rainfall will mainly affect upper Punjab, Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and Islamabad’s surrounding areas.
The contrast between rainy northern areas and drier parts of the country reflects the regional nature of the current weather system. The forecast does not indicate widespread rainfall across the entire country.
