The Meteorological Department has forecast varying weather conditions across the country, with continued hot and dry weather expected in most plain areas, while thunderstorms and rain are likely in northern and hilly regions.
In this regard, much of the country’s lowland areas will remain under intense heat, with rising temperatures expected to further increase discomfort for residents. Major cities including Islamabad, Lahore, and Karachi are likely to experience a noticeable rise in temperature, contributing to severe heat conditions during the coming days.
In contrast, parts of Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, and upper regions of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are expected to receive rain accompanied by thunderstorms. Areas including Dir, Swat, Chitral, and Bannu may witness intermittent rainfall, which could help reduce the intensity of heat in these regions.
The department has also indicated that over the next week, the plains of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Peshawar and surrounding districts, may experience further warming.
Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has forecast dusty winds along with light rain in parts of Lahore over the next 24 hours. These conditions may bring slight improvement in the prevailing weather pattern, though heat levels are expected to remain high.
In a separate development, an explosion near Chaman Phatak in Quetta resulted in injuries to around 10 individuals and caused damage to several vehicles, according to local reports. Security and emergency response teams reached the site shortly after the incident, and investigations are underway to determine the cause of the blast.
Overall, the country is currently experiencing a mixed weather pattern, with severe heat dominating the plains while scattered rainfall offers partial relief in northern and upper regions. Meteorological officials continue to monitor the situation and are expected to issue further updates as conditions evolve.
