The NEOC weather warning highlights severe risks in Islamabad and Rawalpindi, where merging weather systems may trigger strong winds and intense rainfall tonight. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), North and South Eastern Punjab face Pakistan thunderstorms and hailstorms, while Southern Punjab’s Rohi region, including Rahim Yar Khan, expects moderate but prolonged rain.
