New rain spell expected before Eid: Met Office

Pakistan’s weather department has predicted widespread rain, thunderstorms, and possible hailstorms across several regions in the days leading up to Eidull Fitr. The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said the wet spell is expected between March 25 and 27, affecting upper and central areas, with snowfall forecasted over mountainous regions. According to PMD, showers will likely hit Buner, Dir, Malakand, Swabi, Charsadda, Abbottabad, and Peshawar from March 25 to 27. Other areas, including Karak, Lakki Marwat, North and South Waziristan, and Dera Ismail Khan, could also experience rain, hail, and snowfall in higher altitudes. Islamabad, Potohar region, Murree, and Galiyat are also expected to receive rainfall and light snowfall between March 25 and 27. Meanwhile, central Punjab will see scattered rain showers during the same period. In Sindh, dust storms are likely on March 25 and 26, while parts of Balochistan—including Quetta, Ziarat, Zhob, Musa Khel, Chaman, and Mastung—are expected to receive rain. The Met Office has also warned of thunderstorms and hail, which could damage power lines and solar panels, while landslides remain a risk in hilly areas due to moderate to heavy rainfall. PMD has issued an alert regarding severe hailstorms in upper Punjab, Islamabad, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, which could harm standing crops, particularly wheat. Strong winds and hail may also cause structural damage in affected areas. Authorities have advised residents and farmers to take precautionary measures ahead of the expected weather disruptions.
