Met office predicts rain in KP, Pothohar, and Punjab today

The Meteorological Department has released a weather forecast indicating that extreme heat will continue in the southern regions of the country, while some areas in upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pothohar, and northeastern Punjab are expected to receive rainfall.

According to the department, the southern parts of Punjab, as well as most areas in Balochistan and Sindh, will remain under a severe heatwave. Residents are urged to take necessary precautions against heat-related illnesses and to stay hydrated.

Conversely, certain regions in upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are likely to experience rain. Rainfall is expected in Kohistan, Shangla, Battagram, Swat, Chitral, Dir, Abbottabad, Haripur, and Mansehra, providing temporary relief from the prevailing hot weather in these areas.

In the capital city, Islamabad, the weather is expected to be hot during the day with a possibility of rain in the evening. Most districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will continue to experience extreme heat, exacerbating the discomfort caused by the ongoing heatwave. The Met Office advises people to limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours and seek shelter in cooler places.

On Thursday, the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) issued a stern advisory for June, warning residents of Sindh and Punjab about an impending severe heatwave.

In Sindh, the districts of Umarkot, Tharparkar, Tando Allahyar, Matiari, and Sanghar are expected to face scorching temperatures, with the mercury rising to alarming levels. Similarly, in Punjab, the districts of Rahim Yar Khan and Bahawalpur are likely to be under the oppressive grip of the heatwave.
