Islamabad, September 30, 2023 – The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a weather forecast predicting the likelihood of a thunderstorm in the upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa region on Saturday, September 30, 2023.
In its daily weather forecast, the PMD has indicated that rain, accompanied by strong winds and thunderstorm (with possible snowfall over high mountainous areas), is anticipated in upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the Pothohar region, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
