Rain is expected in Pakistan today (Saturday) after a long spell of dry and hot season in Punjab and Sindh especially.
In Islamabad and Rawalpindi, the chances of rain are between 40-50 per cent in the afternoon, according to BBC Weather.
In Lahore, light rain showers are expected throughout the day.
Karachi is expected to remain hot with moderate breeze.
A little rain is expected in Peshawar today as well but mostly the weather is going to be sunny.
Quetta is going to remain sunny too just like Karachi.
A day earlier, Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) also said that rain is expected in Pakistan today, in provinces of KP, Punjab and some parts of Balochistan.
“Rain-duststorm/ thundershower (with isolated heavyfalls/hailstorm) is expected in Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad, Punjab and northeast Balochistan. Isolated heavy falls/ hailstorm is likely during the period. Hot and dry weather is expected in other parts of the country”, said PMD in a press release.
It also issued a forecast warning, saying that “Wind/dust-thunderstorm/lightning/hailstorm/heavyfalls may damage loose structures like (electric poles, trees, vehicles and solar panels etc)”.
As rain is expected in Pakistan today, farmers and travellers are urged to stay alert and monitor the changing weather patterns closely.
Last week, a strong storm hit Peshawar and some people got injured as a result of trees falling down. A dust storm also hit Balochistan last week.
