ISLAMABAD: The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) has issued a weather alert for Islamabad and Rawalpindi, warning of heavy rain, strong winds and hailstorms during the next 8 to 10 hours.

According to the official statement, the approaching weather system may cause potentially hazardous conditions including falling trees, power outages and damage to weak structures and crops due to strong winds and hailstorms. The NDMA also warned of reduced visibility on roads due to heavy rains, which may increase the risk of accidents.

Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest weather information and are encouraged to use the NDMA mobile app for timely alerts. The authority further urged the public to check the traffic situation before travelling, avoid unnecessary movement and be cautious in landslide prone areas.

Meanwhile, light rain and hailstorms were reported in some parts of the twin cities on Sunday.
