Scorching Heat Grips Pakistan with Limited Rain Forecast
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has projected another challenging day of scorching heat and humidity for Tuesday across much of the country, although isolated rainfall may provide relief in certain regions.
According to the latest advisory, intense heat is expected to grip Sindh, most of Punjab, and Balochistan. Meanwhile, light to moderate rain accompanied by wind and thunderstorms is likely to hit isolated parts of northern and upper areas, including Upper Punjab, Islamabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and Kashmir.
In Islamabad, meteorologists foresee partly cloudy skies with the possibility of thundershowers during the afternoon or evening. Surrounding areas may also experience isolated heavy rainfall.

Several districts of KP, such as Chitral, Swat, Dir, Mansehra, and Peshawar, are expected to see rainfall. Localized heavy downpours in upper regions have raised the possibility of urban flooding in low-lying zones.
Punjab will mostly endure stifling temperatures and high humidity. However, cities like Lahore, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, and Faisalabad may witness sporadic rainfall, especially in northern parts including Murree and Galiyat.
Sindh, particularly Karachi and other coastal zones, will continue to experience dry and humid conditions. The weather may remain partly cloudy, but no significant rainfall is expected.
In Balochistan, hot and sticky weather will dominate for most of the day, though showers are likely in districts such as Zhob, Khuzdar, Barkhan, and Mo Si Khel by evening.
The PMD also indicated that Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan could see patchy rainfall and thunderstorms, with the chance of isolated heavy downpours in Kashmir.
