“During the next 48 hours or so, rain coupled with thunderstorm is expected at scattered places in Islamabad, Malakand and Hazara divisions, Fata, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Also, light rain along with thunderstorm is likely to fall at isolated places in Peshawar, Kohat, Mardan, Sargodha, Faisalabad, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Lahore divisions and Gilgit-Baltistan during the period,” weatherman Muhammad Farooq said on Tuesday.

The Met Office official said dry weather would occur elsewhere in the country. He said the weather conditions in question was caused by a westerly wave currently affecting upper and central parts of the country and they were likely to persist in upper parts of the country until Friday (morning).
