According to the latest forecast, Lahore is likely to remain hot and dry throughout the next 24 hours, with no chance of rainfall. The maximum temperature is expected to reach 38°C, while the minimum temperature may remain around 29°C.

Despite the expected showers, temperatures are likely to rise again from the following day.

Rain accompanied by thunder is also expected in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, where unstable weather conditions may continue.

 

 

Meanwhile, Karachi experienced cloudy skies and light drizzle, making the weather more pleasant. The city's current temperature is around 30°C, while the maximum temperature is expected to reach 36°C later in the day.

The Met Office said Karachi will remain partly cloudy and humid during daylight hours, with humidity recorded at 78 percent. Westerly winds are blowing at approximately 19 kilometres per hour. However, no heavy rainfall is expected in the city during the coming week.
