Islamabad weather alert: Monsoon set to unleash torrential showers

Weather Forecast Thundershowers

Islamabad, July 15, 2025 – The skies above Islamabad are gearing up for a dramatic transformation as the monsoon season tightens its grip, bringing with it the promise of intense and persistent rainfall over the next three days.

Brace yourselves—because the weather in Islamabad is about to take a wild, thunderous turn.

According to global forecaster AccuWeather, heavy rain and thundershowers are expected to drench the capital from July 16 to July 18. Islamabad’s serene skyline will be replaced with dark, storm-laden clouds as Mother Nature puts on a dazzling—yet disruptive—monsoon performance.

Wednesday, July 16, will kick off the stormy sequence with thick clouds looming over Islamabad in the morning, followed by scattered thunderstorms. The weather during the day will be unpredictable, shifting between sun breaks and rumbling skies. Temperatures will hover around 28°C to 24°C, but RealFeel® temperatures could push 32°C, adding to the city’s sticky discomfort.

Thursday, July 17, will carry forward the monsoon momentum with an early morning thunderstorm rattling the city. As the storm clouds begin to clear, Islamabad residents might catch glimpses of sunlight, though the atmosphere will remain heavy and humid. The weather forecast predicts temperatures peaking at 30°C, but the RealFeel® index will keep things feeling much warmer.

Friday, July 18, is expected to deliver the heaviest blow, with a 71% chance of thunder and rainfall in the early hours. Islamabad could experience multiple thunderstorm episodes, blanketing the city in gray and soaking every corner. The mercury will rise to 33°C, while the RealFeel® temperature may touch a sweltering 36°C—making this one of the most intense weather days of the season.

Residents of Islamabad are strongly advised to stay updated on weather alerts, avoid unnecessary travel during peak rainfall hours, and ensure their homes are prepared to handle potential flash floods or power outages.

As Islamabad surrenders to the monsoon’s might, it’s not just the weather—it’s a spectacle.
