News Desk

Islamabad: Hot and dry weather is expected to persist across most parts of the country over the next 24 hours, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).

However, isolated rain-wind and thunderstorms are likely in Potohar, Gilgit-Baltistan, Kashmir, and Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Wednesday.

Continental air continues to dominate most areas, contributing to the ongoing hot and dry conditions. Nevertheless, a shallow westerly wave is affecting the upper parts of the country, creating potential for rainfall and thunderstorms in some regions.
