Islamabad: Weather Department has forcasted dry weather and heatwave across Pakistan. According to the sources, continuing with the prevailing atmospheric conditions, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted dry weather across most parts of the country, accompanied by daytime heat in the plain regions.
According to the met office, dry weather and rising temperatures forecast across Pakistan remain the dominant theme for the current week, keeping major cities warm while northern terrains experience mild conditions.
In Islamabad and its surrounding areas, the weather is expected to remain dry and hot during the day.
Similarly, most districts across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Balochistan will experience dry conditions, with daytime temperatures climbing in the plains.
Sindh will largely stay hot and dry, whereas Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan are anticipated to observe dry weather with partly cloudy skies.
Over the past 24 hours, conditions remained predominantly dry nationwide, though isolated rainfall was reported with Khadar recording 1 mm of precipitation.
Maximum temperatures reached 41°C in Dadu and Shaheed Benazirabad, while Mithi and Nokkundi touched 40°C.

As transitional weather patterns persist, dry weather and rising temperatures forecast across Pakistan continue to dictate daily regional routines.
Overview of Monsoon in Pakistan 2026
The 2026 monsoon season in Pakistan brought unique climatic patterns, heavily influenced by shifting global indicators like the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD).
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department’s seasonal outlook, the country experienced largely normal to below-normal overall rainfall trends, contrasting sharply with some previous heavy-flood years.
However, regional disparities remained prominent; while southern and central plains faced drier spells and prolonged heat intervals, northern regions including upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Kashmir received crucial moisture and occasional heavy downpours.
These shifting seasonal dynamics underscored ongoing vulnerabilities linked to global climate change, accelerated glacier melt in northern mountain ranges, and sudden localized urban flooding events.
Authorities continue to emphasize climate resilience, disaster preparedness, and robust early warning systems to manage water resources efficiently as the country transitions away from the peak monsoon window.
