According to the forecast, there is a likelihood of severe rain and storms with adverse weather in Kashmir, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, northeastern Punjab, and Gilgit-Baltistan. This change may provide temporary relief from the ongoing heat.
This morning, temperatures in several major cities reflected the intensity of the heat. Both Islamabad and Quetta recorded 24 degrees Celsius, while Lahore was slightly warmer with a temperature of 26 degrees Celsius. Karachi topped the chart with a high reading of 29 degrees Celsius, followed by Peshawar at 28 degrees Celsius. Cooler temperatures were noted in the northern areas, with Gilgit at a refreshing 19 degrees Celsius and Murree at 15 degrees Celsius. Muzaffarabad remained moderate at 23 degrees Celsius.
