Islamabad: Hot and dry weather is expected to persist across most parts of Pakistan on Tuesday, although some northern and northeastern regions may receive isolated showers and thunderstorms, according to Beyond Time News.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) said rain accompanied by gusty winds and thunderstorms is likely in upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and parts of northeastern Punjab.
Most Areas to Experience High Temperatures
The weather is expected to remain warm and mostly dry in many districts across the country. However, cloud cover may develop during the afternoon in some areas.
Islamabad and surrounding regions are likely to witness hot conditions. Partly cloudy skies are expected later in the day, which could bring some relief from the heat.

Sindh and Balochistan Likely to Stay Dry
Most districts in Sindh and Balochistan are expected to remain under the influence of hot and dry weather.
No widespread rainfall is forecast for the two provinces. Temperatures are likely to remain above normal in several cities, especially during the daytime.
Rain Also Expected in Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan
Partly cloudy skies with isolated rain and thunderstorms are forecast for Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
These mountainous regions often experience changing weather patterns during the summer season due to moisture-bearing winds and local atmospheric conditions.
Rainfall Recorded During the Last 24 Hours
Several parts of the country received rain during the past day.
According to Beyond Time News, Malam Jabba recorded the highest rainfall with 55 millimeters.
Other notable rainfall figures included:

- Narowal: 27 mm
- Lahore Airport: 22 mm

Sibbi Recorded Highest Temperature
Despite scattered showers in some regions, intense heat continued in southern and central parts of the country.
Sibbi recorded the highest maximum temperature on Monday at 45 degrees Celsius.
Other cities that experienced extreme heat included:
- Dalbandin
- Shaheed Benazirabad
- Nokkundi
- Dadu
Each of these locations recorded temperatures of 43 degrees Celsius.
Why the Forecast Matters
Weather conditions play a major role in agriculture, transportation and daily life. High temperatures increase electricity demand and can also raise the risk of heat-related illnesses.
At the same time, isolated rainfall in northern regions can provide relief from the heat and benefit water resources and crops.
Possible Outlook for Coming Days
Meteorologists continue to monitor weather systems affecting northern Pakistan. Seasonal changes and moisture entering upper areas may lead to additional rainfall events later this week.
Residents are advised to stay hydrated, avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun during peak hours and keep track of official weather updates.
Conclusion
Pakistan is expected to remain under the influence of hot and dry weather on Tuesday, with temperatures staying high in many regions. However, isolated rain and thunderstorms are likely in upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and parts of Punjab, bringing temporary relief from the summer heat.
