Islamabad, June 5, 2025 – The people of Islamabad should prepare for extremely hot weather during the upcoming Eid-ul-Adha holidays.
According to official announcements, the government has declared four days of Eid holidays from June 6 to June 9, 2025. While many look forward to celebrations with family and friends, the rising heat may put a damper on outdoor activities.
The weather in Islamabad is expected to become hotter each day during the Eid break. The heat will gradually increase, making it difficult to stay outdoors for long. According to forecasts from AccuWeather, temperatures are predicted to rise sharply, starting from 35°C on Thursday, June 5, and reaching up to 44°C by Monday, June 9.
The weather forecast also warns of dangerously high UV levels throughout the holidays, with the maximum UV index reaching 12 each day—considered extreme. Winds will also pick up slightly, but not enough to cool down the intense heat. RealFeel® temperatures, which consider humidity and wind, could make it feel even hotter, ranging between 37°C and 45°C.
On Eid day (Friday), the weather will already be very warm, with clear skies and no chance of rain. Saturday and Sunday will continue to be sunny, dry, and very hot, with RealFeel® temperatures staying above 40°C. By Monday, the final day of the holidays, the scorching sun will push the RealFeel® temperature as high as 45°C in Islamabad.
Authorities advise residents to stay indoors during peak afternoon hours, drink plenty of water, and avoid unnecessary travel, especially during the hottest part of the day. Parents are urged to keep children hydrated and shaded, particularly when they go out for Eid prayers or family visits.
As Eid celebrations approach, it’s important to prioritize health and safety in the face of extreme weather. While the festive spirit remains high in Islamabad, the public is encouraged to plan their Eid activities accordingly, keeping the updated weather alerts in mind to avoid heat-related health risks.
