The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast a new spell of rain and snowfall across multiple regions starting Monday.
According to a press release from the Met Office, a system of westerly winds is expected to enter the country, bringing hailstorms to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Islamabad. Meanwhile, snowfall is predicted in northern areas, with rain likely in Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan from February 25.
The PMD has also warned of potential flash floods and landslides in hilly regions, advising tourists to avoid unnecessary travel for safety reasons.
In Karachi, skies will remain mostly cloudy, leading to cooler temperatures. The advisory noted that wind patterns will shift over the next three days, with northeastern winds from Balochistan affecting the city at night and in the early morning, while southwesterly sea breezes will prevail in the afternoon.
This forecast follows heavy rainfall in Islamabad and Rawalpindi after nearly four months of dry conditions, offering relief amid an ongoing water crisis. Several areas of Punjab, including Lahore, as well as parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, also experienced light to heavy showers after a prolonged dry spell.
