PMD Forecasts Mainly Dry, Hot Weather with Isolated Rain Pakistan is set to experience predominantly dry and hot weather across most regions, with isolated rainfall expected in certain areas, according to the latest forecast from the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD). The forecast, issued on Thursday, April 23, 2026, indicates that even as the majority of the country will remain under dry conditions, scattered rain may occur in isolated pockets, particularly in the northern and western regions. The PMD’s outlook highlights that daytime temperatures are expected to remain elevated, especially in the plains of Punjab and Sindh, where heat levels could rise significantly. In contrast, some relief may be felt in higher-altitude areas due to the potential for isolated showers, which could help moderate temperatures temporarily. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions against the heat, including staying hydrated, avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during peak hours and keeping an eye on localized weather updates. The PMD continues to monitor atmospheric conditions closely and will issue updates as the weather pattern evolves. This forecast aligns with seasonal trends observed in late April, when rising temperatures typically precede the onset of the pre-monsoon period in South Asia. Authorities recommend that vulnerable populations, such as the elderly and young children, be given special attention during this period of increased heat stress.
