The Meteorological Department has predicted that hot and humid weather conditions would be present in most areas of Pakistan, with some regions anticipating rainfall and possible dangers caused by heavy precipitation.

The agency forecasts that most places, including Islamabad, would have hot and humid weather, with temperatures predicted to increase during the day. Evening is expected to bring strong gusts and a thunderstorm.

Precipitation is likely to occur in various locations in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, southeastern Sindh, and northern and southeastern Balochistan. However, the region of Lower Balochistan is at danger of experiencing floods in places that are at a lower elevation, as a result of intense precipitation. There is a possibility of rain showers in South Punjab, which might provide short reprieve from the current hot weather.

Local Weather Reports
Lahore is now enduring scorching weather, with temperatures soaring to 38 degrees Celsius, but the combination of excessive humidity makes it seem like a scorching 46 degrees. Over the next 24 hours, the weather is forecasted to be hot and dry, with little possibility of rainfall throughout the week.

According to the Met Department, the air has a humidity level of 55% and the winds are blowing at a speed of 2km per hour. Additionally, it is said that the temperature will decrease throughout the evening.

Karachi continues to experience hot and humid weather, despite recent rainfall, and the predictions indicate cloudiness. The temperatures fluctuate between a low of 29°C and a top of 36°C, while the humidity remains high at 84%. The wind is now gusting at a velocity of eight kilometres per hour, which is adding to the humid conditions in the city.

The Meteorological Department has issued a warning for a fresh period of monsoon rainfall occurring from July 12 to 14 in the Sibbi, Zhob, and Kalat divisions of Balochistan. The occurrence of lightning during these storms has led the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) to issue a warning to the public on possible dangers.

Travel warnings have been issued, asking travellers and visitors to refrain from non-essential travel in order to reduce the likelihood of harm to crops and energy facilities.
