According to the latest forecast from the Pakistan Meteorological Department, Islamabad and nearby areas will face extreme heat during the daytime. However, clouds may appear later in the evening, and there is a chance of strong winds, thunderstorms, and light rain, which could bring slight relief from the heat.

In Punjab, especially in southern and central districts, the heat will remain intense throughout the day. Temperatures are expected to stay high, but areas like Pothohar, Murree, and Galiyat may experience partly cloudy skies by evening, along with chances of gusty winds and light showers.

Sindh is also expected to remain under the grip of extreme heat. Cities such as Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, Larkana, Jacobabad, and Tharparkar will likely continue to experience dry and hot weather. The weather office advises residents to take precautions and avoid going out in the sun unnecessarily.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s plains — including Peshawar, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Charsadda, and Mardan — will also see above-normal temperatures. However, in upper areas like Chitral, Dir, Kohat, Karak, and Waziristan, the evening may bring some cloud cover and isolated thunderstorms with light rain.

In Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir, daytime heat will also prevail, but the evenings and nights may see a shift in weather. Partly cloudy skies and chances of strong winds, thunder, and light showers are expected in some areas.

The Meteorological Department has urged the public to stay hydrated, limit exposure to direct sunlight, and avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during peak heat hours.

This weather alert offers a mix of caution and hope. While the heatwave continues in most parts of Pakistan, evening thunderstorms and showers could bring welcome relief in scattered areas. The forecast also signals the start of transitional weather patterns — potentially hinting at the early signs of monsoon build-up. However, residents should remain cautious, especially during the hottest hours of the day, and prepare for sudden weather shifts in the evening.
