ISLAMABAD – The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted that Murree and Galyat will experience more rain and snowfall this week.
The synoptic situation shows a westerly wave affecting Pakistan’s western and upper regions. This wave is expected to persist in the upper parts of the country until February 4. As a result, rain and snowfall are likely in Murree and Galyat from Wednesday night to Thursday and Friday.
During this period, snowfall may affect transportation, so tourists are advised to be cautious. Murree’s minimum temperature is expected to be between -02-00 degrees Celsius on Thursday and Friday.

In Murree, the temperature dropped to 1°C below freezing, and the relative humidity during the morning was recorded at 92%. Tourists flocked to Malika-e-Kohsar and Galyat to witness the heavy snowfall of the winter season. However, the massive influx of tourists caused a traffic mess in Murree and on the roads leading to Galyat.
Unfortunately, tourists complained about the high prices of commodities and the improper attitudes of shopkeepers and restaurant employees.
