According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), Pakistan is likely to see additional rain and wet weather spells before Eid ul‑Fitr, especially between March 18 and March 20. These wet conditions include rain accompanied by strong winds and cooler weather compared to recent days.
Rain and Thunderstorms Expected Across Regions
The PMD has also forecasted rain and thunderstorms in multiple regions, including Karachi, Balochistan, and the hilly areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In some areas, hailstorms and even snowfall in higher elevations are possible as the weather system moves across the country.
Cooler Temperatures Likely With Wet Weather
Alongside the rain prediction, the PMD notes that temperatures are expected to decline over the next few days in many parts of the country. This could make weather feel cooler and more unsettled for people preparing for Eid activities.
Impact on Karachi and Southern Areas
Karachi and other southern regions are included in the forecast for rain and thunderstorms. While intensity may vary, residents should be aware of possible wet spells or isolated downpours, which could affect travel and outdoor plans ahead of the festival.
Possible Effects on Daily Life
Rain and thunderstorms before Eid can impact traffic, agriculture, and outdoor events. The PMD’s advisory encourages people to stay updated with weather alerts and take appropriate precautions if heavy rain occurs.
Summary: Prepare for Unsettled Weather
In summary, the latest official forecasts from the PMD indicate that rain, thunderstorms, and cooler weather are likely in many parts of Pakistan before Eid ul‑Fitr, with a stronger weather system expected mid‑week. While not all regions may see heavy rain, widespread unsettled conditions are possible.
