Rain, thunderstorms, and mountain snowfall are expected across upper and western parts of the country through November 14 under the influence of a westerly weather system, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said.
According to the Met Office, a shallow westerly wave entered the western and northern regions on the evening of November 10. The system is expected to intensify on November 12 and persist over upper districts until the morning of November 14, bringing gusty winds, isolated heavy showers, and hailstorms.
Areas expected to receive rain and snow
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, precipitation is forecast across several districts, including Chitral, Dir, Swat, Kohistan, Shangla, Battagram, Mansehra, Abbottabad, Peshawar, Mardan, Swabi, Nowshera, Bannu, Karak, and Dera Ismail Khan. Snowfall is also expected across the high mountain areas and glaciers of the province.
In Punjab and Islamabad, light rain and wind are expected in the federal capital, Rawalpindi, Murree, the Galiyat region, and surrounding areas. Rain and thunderstorms are also forecast on November 12 and 13 for Lahore, Gujrat, Gujranwala, Sialkot, Narowal, Sheikhupura, Kasur, and Sargodha. Southern Punjab districts, including Multan, Dera Ghazi Khan, Layyah, and Bhakkar, are forecast to receive rain on November 12.
Rain, wind, and snowfall over the hills are also forecast for Azad Jammu and Kashmir—including Muzaffarabad, Neelum Valley, and Rawalakot—as well as Gilgit-Baltistan districts including Skardu, Hunza, Gilgit, Diamir, and Astore through November 14.
Advisory for farmers and commuters
While mainly dry weather will prevail over Sindh and most parts of Balochistan, isolated showers and potential hailstorms are forecast for Quetta, Ziarat, Chaman, Kalat, Khuzdar, and Zhob on November 11 and 12.
The Met Office advised farmers to plan their agricultural tasks around the incoming weather conditions. Daytime temperatures are projected to decline by 2 to 4 degrees Celsius during the spell. Authorities also warned motorists that snowfall and rain could make roads slippery in hilly terrain, potentially disrupting traffic, while patchy fog may develop across low-lying plains after the rain moves out.
