ISLAMABAD – Rains with isolated heavy falls are expected in Islamabad, Rawalpindi and parts of Pakistan on Sunday evening/night and Monday.
According to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), a low-pressure system located over north Gujrat (India) will likely move westwards during the next 24 hours. Monsoon currents are likely to strengthen in Sindh and eastern Punjab during the next 24 hours.
Under these conditions, rain-wind/thundershowers with heavy falls are expected in Sindh and southern Punjab on Sunday evening/night and Monday. Rain-wind/thundershowers are also expected at isolated places in northeastern Punjab, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir.
