ISLAMABAD: The weather outlook for the next 12 hours in Pakistan and Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir suggests a varied meteorological landscape. While most plain areas of the country can expect predominantly hot and humid conditions, some regions are poised for more dynamic weather patterns.
Plain Areas: Hot and Humid
In the majority of Pakistan’s plain areas, residents should prepare for another day of hot and humid weather. The mercury is set to rise, creating conditions that might be best endured in the shade with a cool drink in hand. Here are the morning temperature readings from some of the country’s major cities:
- Islamabad: A warm start at twenty-two degrees Celsius.
- Lahore: A balmy twenty-eight degrees Celsius.
- Karachi: Twenty-eight degrees Celsius, similar to Lahore.
- Peshawar: A pleasant twenty-five degrees Celsius.

Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pothohar Region, Islamabad, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan: Thunderstorms on the Horizon
In contrast to the plain areas, several regions are poised to experience a change in weather. The forecast for upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Pothohar region, Islamabad, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan calls for rain accompanied by thunderstorms at isolated places. This weather event can bring a refreshing break from the heat but might require residents to prepare for wet and stormy conditions.
Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir: Partly Cloudy with Rain and Wind
Across the border in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the weather outlook is also diverse. The forecast suggests partly cloudy skies with the possibility of rain and gusty winds, including thundershowers, in several areas. Here are the morning temperature readings:
