Islamabad, June 29, 2025 – The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has released an updated weather forecast for June 29, 2025, highlighting widespread rainfall, possible flash floods, and hazardous conditions in multiple regions.
The update serves as a crucial alert for residents and travelers across Pakistan as monsoon activity intensifies.
According to the latest forecast, heavy to very heavy rainfall is expected to continue across key regions of northern and western Pakistan. The affected areas include Murree, Galliyat, Rawalpindi/Islamabad, Mansehra, Abbottabad, Kohistan, Dir, Swat, Shangla, and Peshawar, among others. These rains may lead to flash flooding in local streams and nullahs, posing serious risks to life and infrastructure.
Southern parts of the country are not exempt. Flash flood warnings have also been issued for the hill torrents of Dera Ghazi Khan, Musakhel, Barkhan, Khuzdar, Lasbela, and Kalat. The weather forecast also includes warnings of windstorms and lightning, which may damage vulnerable structures such as kacha houses, electric poles, billboards, vehicles, and solar panels.
Additionally, landslides remain a serious threat in hilly areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, Murree, and Galliyat. These disruptions could result in road closures and isolation of remote areas. The PMD has urged citizens to remain cautious and avoid unnecessary travel during the ongoing wet spell.
The synoptic situation reveals that moist monsoon currents from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal continue to penetrate Pakistan. These are expected to strengthen further in the upper parts of the country tonight, alongside a westerly wave likely to increase rainfall intensity.
For Sunday, widespread rain-wind/thundershower with isolated heavy falls is expected across Kashmir, Islamabad, northeast Punjab, Potohar, and Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Scattered showers are also expected in parts of Balochistan, central/south Punjab, and southeast Sindh.
Monday’s forecast suggests a slight reduction in rainfall, with isolated showers expected in upper areas, while the rest of Pakistan may experience hot and dry weather.
During the past 24 hours, multiple cities received significant rainfall, including Lahore (65mm), Karachi (58mm in Surjani Town), and Kalat (21mm). Meanwhile, the highest recorded temperatures were 43°C in Chilas, Sibi, and Jacobabad.
The PMD urges all citizens to stay updated with the official weather forecast and follow safety precautions as Pakistan continues to navigate this active monsoon phase.
