According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), while the day may start off hot and humid in many parts of Punjab, monsoon rains are expected to continue in several districts throughout the province.
If you’re living in or planning to travel to areas like Murree, Galiyat, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Multan, or Sialkot, don’t forget your umbrellas!

On the national front, the synoptic situation indicates weak moist currents from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal moving into upper and central Pakistan, fueling these monsoon rains. Friday’s forecast includes more scattered rain and thunderstorms in regions like Kashmir, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, southern and northeastern Punjab, the Potohar plateau, and southeastern Sindh.
