Rain and snowfall expected in northern Pakistan as winter weather sets in
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the Pakistan weather forecast indicates partly cloudy skies and cold conditions in northern regions.
The possibility of rain in northern Pakistan is higher in mountainous areas, where temperatures are already falling.
The weather department has also predicted snowfall in Gilgit-Baltistan, particularly in higher locations. The latest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa weather update also points to light rain in several districts.
Rain and Snowfall in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
Upper parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Gilgit-Baltistan are likely to receive light rain and snowfall over the mountains.
Chitral, Dir, Swat, Kohistan and Kurram may experience light rain. Dera Ismail Khan and Lakki Marwat could also receive light rain during the night.
The expected rain in northern Pakistan may make temperatures feel colder, especially in mountainous locations.
Residents should prepare for changing conditions as snowfall in Gilgit-Baltistan could affect daily activities in higher areas.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa weather conditions are also expected to remain cold in the upper districts. People travelling to these areas should check local conditions before starting their journeys.
Fog and Smog Expected in Punjab
Morning fog and smog are likely in Lahore, Faisalabad, Multan, Gujranwala and Sialkot. The Punjab fog and smog situation could reduce visibility and create difficulties for people travelling during early hours.
Drivers should slow down, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles and use fog lights where necessary.
The Pakistan weather forecast suggests that these conditions may continue during the morning.
Meanwhile, Murree and Galyat are expected to remain partly cloudy, with cold weather during the morning and night.
The wider Punjab fog and smog alert is particularly important for commuters travelling on major roads.

Weather Conditions in Balochistan and Sindh
Northern Balochistan will experience cold weather, while light rain is expected in Quetta, Chaman, Pishin and Zhob. These conditions are part of the wider change in the Pakistan weather forecast.
Most parts of Sindh will remain dry, but southern districts may experience hot weather during the day.
Karachi is also expected to remain hot for now. However, the Met Office has predicted an improvement after November 5 due to westerly winds. These winds may bring some relief from the ongoing heat.
The forecast for rain in northern Pakistan remains limited to selected areas, while snowfall in Gilgit-Baltistan is expected mainly over the mountains.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa weather outlook also points to light rainfall rather than widespread heavy showers.
What Residents Should Expect
The Punjab fog and smog conditions may affect visibility during morning travel, while northern regions prepare for colder weather.
The possibility of rain in northern Pakistan and snowfall in Gilgit-Baltistan shows that winter conditions are gradually becoming more noticeable.
The Pakistan weather forecast also highlights the contrast between cold northern areas and warmer parts of Sindh.
The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa weather situation should be monitored by residents and travellers, particularly in districts expecting rain.
