Islamabad, June 14, 2025 – The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast a high probability of thundershower in Islamabad on Sunday, June 15, 2025.
According to the latest weather advisory, there is a 55% chance of rain accompanied by wind, duststorm, and thundershower activity in Islamabad and its surrounding regions. Isolated hailstorms are also expected in some areas.
For Saturday, the PMD anticipates partly cloudy weather in Islamabad, with a 30% likelihood of duststorm and scattered thundershower. The synoptic situation suggests that a westerly wave currently influencing the upper and central regions of Pakistan is likely to persist over the next two to three days, bringing unstable weather conditions.
The national weather outlook for Sunday indicates that several parts of the country including Islamabad, Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, southeastern Sindh, northeastern and southeastern Balochistan, and Kashmir will experience partly cloudy conditions with potential for thundershower, windstorms, and isolated hail. The PMD has cautioned that strong winds, hail, and lightning could damage vulnerable structures such as electric poles, trees, vehicles, and solar panels, especially from June 14 to June 16.
In the past 24 hours, weather remained predominantly hot and dry across most regions. However, scattered rainfall and thundershower were recorded in northern parts of the country. Notably, Islamabad received light rainfall — 2mm in the city and 1mm in Saidpur.
Some of the highest recorded temperatures included Jacobabad at a scorching 51°C, while several cities including Turbat, Sibbi, and Mohenjo Daro witnessed temperatures touching 49°C. Plain areas of Punjab and Sindh continued to sizzle under intense heat.
The approaching thundershower spells in Islamabad may provide brief relief from the prevailing heat, but residents are advised to remain cautious of strong winds and potential hailstorms. PMD urges citizens to stay updated with the latest weather alerts and take necessary precautions during outdoor activities.
