The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has warned that a new weather system entering Pakistan through Iran could bring polluted particles into the country’s western regions, potentially affecting air quality.

According to the meteorological authority, the rain-bearing system is expected to enter Pakistan on Tuesday, moving through Iran and impacting several parts of Pakistan, particularly northeastern areas of Balochistan.

Rain and Strong Winds Expected in Balochistan

The Pakistan Meteorological Department said that under the influence of this system, rainfall is expected in northeastern Balochistan, and the wet spell may continue for up to three days.

Meteorologists also warned that strong winds and gusty conditions may accompany the rainfall, which could affect local weather patterns in the region.

Authorities have advised residents to remain cautious, especially in areas prone to windstorms and sudden weather changes.

Polluted Air Particles May Travel from Iran

Officials said that western winds entering Pakistan from Iran may carry pollution particles, which could temporarily affect air quality in western parts of the country.

These polluted particles are believed to originate from areas affected by recent heavy bombardment on oil installations in Iran, which reportedly caused environmental concerns after dark-colored rain was observed in parts of Iran.

Due to these developments, experts fear that airborne pollutants could travel across borders through regional wind systems.

No ‘Black Rain’ Expected in Pakistan

Despite concerns circulating on social media, the Pakistan Meteorological Department has rejected the possibility of “black rain” occurring in Pakistan.

However, officials acknowledged that the incoming weather system may still contain pollution-causing particles, which could influence atmospheric conditions.

To monitor the situation, PMD has directed its regional offices to collect rainwater samples for laboratory analysis once the rainfall begins.

This testing will help determine whether pollution levels are significant enough to impact public health or the environment.

Monitoring Air Quality and Weather Developments

Meteorologists say the situation will continue to be closely monitored, particularly in western and southwestern regions of Pakistan that are most exposed to incoming weather systems from Iran.

Environmental experts also emphasize the importance of air quality monitoring, especially when cross-border weather systems carry industrial pollutants or environmental residues.

Authorities are expected to release further updates once rain sample testing results become available.
