According to the PMD’s forecast, rain, windstorms, and thundershowers are expected in Murree, Galliyat, Islamabad/Rawalpindi, and other parts of Punjab today.
Intermittent rain, wind, and thunderstorms are forecasted for Kashmir, along with isolated heavy rainfall in Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Dera Ghazi Khan, Rajanpur, and Rahim Yar Khan.
