Nationwide Severe Weather Threat
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. Areas from Peshawar to Parachinar and Muzaffarabad to Neelum Valley are also set for storms and heavy downpours.

The dual threat of Karachi’s heatwave and nationwide severe weather underscores the need for preparedness. The NEOC weather warning aims to protect lives and property as Pakistan navigates these challenging conditions.
