The Meteorological Department has forecast rain and thunder for the country’s higher regions, including Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. The prediction follows a scorching day in Jacobabad, where 44 degrees Celsius was the hottest temperature ever recorded in the nation.

In some parts of Punjab, upper Sindh, northeastern Balochistan, and the nation’s capital, Islamabad, there is also a chance of rain, wind, and thunder, according to the Met Department. In contrast, dry and hot weather is predicted for the remainder of the nation throughout the following 24 hours.

There have been extremely high temperatures in a few places throughout the last 24 hours. Temperature readings of 43 degrees Celsius were recorded in Turbat, Khairpur, Dadu, Sakrand, and Shaheed Benazirabad. Major cities saw temperatures of 36 degrees in Islamabad, which was comparatively lower, and 49 degrees in Lahore. Peshawar registered 35 degrees, Quetta saw 35 degrees, and Karachi recorded 36 degrees.

The recent rain and strong winds have caused the heat intensity in Lahore to diminish. It is predicted that Friday will have a maximum temperature of 39 degrees Celsius and overcast conditions the entire day.

The top regions may receive much-needed respite from the heat from the predicted weather changes.
