ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted a new rain spell and snowfall across various parts of the country from tomorrow (Monday).

According to the Met Office press release, a system of westerly winds is expected to enter the country due to which Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Islamabad are likely to experience hailstorms.

Meanwhile, PMD forecast snowfall in northern areas during this period, with rain expected in Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan from February 25.

Additionally, the PMD has warned of flash floods and the risk of landslides in hilly areas. Tourists have been advised to avoid unnecessary travel for safety reasons.

The weather advisory further stated that Karachi will experience mostly cloudy skies, bringing cooler conditions compared to the preceding days.

“Karachi will see varying wind directions over the next three days. Northeastern winds from Balochistan are expected during the night and early morning hours, while southwesterly sea breezes will dominate in the afternoons,” it read.

Residents are advised to be prepared for sudden changes in temperature and visibility, especially during early morning hours when fog may impact traffic.

The PMD’s forecast comes days after Islamabad and Rawalpindi finally received heavy rainfall after nearly four months, providing much-needed relief amid an escalating water crisis.

Various parts of Punjab including Lahore and KP also experienced rainfall after a long gap, with light to heavy showers reported.
