Overview
- The Pakistan Meteorological Department says hot, humid conditions will persist across most plains into Friday with only short, local shifts in weather.
- Islamabad has about a 30 percent chance of rain, strong wind, or a thunderstorm in the evening and night, according to PMD guidance.
- Parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Chitral, Swat, Dir, Kurram and Kohat, and highland pockets such as Murree and Galiyat may see afternoon showers or storms.
- Recent observations recorded maximums up to 43°C at Nokkundi, Dalbandin and Sibbi and mid-to-high 30s Celsius in many major cities, underlining ongoing heat exposure.
- Coastal areas may be partly cloudy with a chance of drizzle and isolated light rain occurred in Gilgit-Baltistan (Babusar recorded 5 mm), so residents should monitor local PMD updates for short-duration changes.
