Islamabad, April 11, 2025 – Islamabad, the serene and green capital of Pakistan, is preparing to face an intense wave of heat as rising summer temperatures are forecasted for the coming days.
The weather outlook suggests that Islamabad residents should brace for a scorching stretch, with temperatures climbing steadily and conditions becoming increasingly challenging for outdoor activity.
According to data from AccuWeather, Islamabad will see a high of 34°C on Friday, with intermittent clouds and sunshine. The RealFeel® temperature will be 33°C, and the UV index will remain high at 7, prompting health officials to urge caution, especially during strenuous outdoor work. With wind blowing from the east at 19 km/h, the heat will persist despite occasional cloud cover.
On Saturday, the city will witness a slight dip with a high of 32°C. However, the RealFeel® is expected to hit 34°C due to intense sunshine. With only 1% chance of precipitation and a UV index peaking at 9, Islamabad’s summer sun will be unforgiving. Winds will shift to the south at 11 km/h, further adding to the dry heat.
Sunday will mark another escalation, as the mercury is projected to touch 34°C once again. The RealFeel® temperature may soar to 36°C, while the RealFeel Shade™ remains at 32°C. Experts warn of dehydration and heatstroke, especially during peak afternoon hours. Summer in Islamabad is turning severe, with health authorities advising people to stay hydrated and limit outdoor exposure.
Monday will likely be the hottest day so far, with a maximum temperature of 36°C and a RealFeel® of 38°C. Sunshine will dominate the skies over Islamabad, and the combination of heat and UV radiation (index 9) poses significant health risks. Winds from the SSE at 9 km/h will do little to cool the city.
As summer grips Islamabad more tightly, residents are advised to take protective measures such as wearing light clothing, using sunscreen, and avoiding outdoor tasks during peak heat hours. With summer intensifying, Islamabad is entering a phase of extreme weather that demands vigilance, care, and preparation from all its citizens.
