However, isolated rain, windstorms, and thundershowers are likely to occur in upper Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad, the Pothohar region, northeast Punjab, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.

Heavy downpours and hailstorms may hit isolated areas of upper Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa in the evening or night time hours.

Continental air continues to prevail over most parts of the country, keeping hot and dry conditions intact.

However, a shallow westerly wave was expected to approach the upper and western regions by tonight, bringing a change in weather patterns for some areas.

Over the past 24 hours, most parts of the country remained under the grip of hot and dry weather, with only Gujranwala recording a minimal rainfall of 1 mm.

The highest recorded temperatures during the period reflect the ongoing hot weather with Turbat soaring to 43 C, followed closely by Sibbi at 42 C, and Dadu reaching 41 C.
