The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecast a week-long spell of rain, wind, and thunderstorms across much of the country from March 24 to March 30, 2026, with occasional gaps. A strong western disturbance is expected to enter southwestern Balochistan tonight and intensify from March 27, bringing moderate to heavy rainfall in several provinces. Karachi, Thatta, Hyderabad, Sukkur, and Larkana in Sindh are likely to receive rain on March 25-26 and again on March 28-29. Similar weather is expected in major Punjab cities including Lahore, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, and Multan, as well as in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Kashmir. The PMD has warned of possible hailstorms, windstorms, flash floods in local streams, and landslides in hilly areas.

Tourists and travellers have been urged to remain extra cautious and avoid unnecessary travel during the forecast period. All concerned authorities have been asked to stay vigilant and take preventive measures to avoid any untoward incidents.
This weather system is expected to bring much-needed rain to many drought-affected areas but may also cause temporary disruptions to daily life and transport.
