The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has issued a forecast for widespread dust storms, windstorms, and rain-thunderstorms across various parts of the country from June 16 to 20. This weather activity is attributed to a westerly wave expected to approach the upper regions on June 16 and persist until June 20.
Weather Systems in Play
According to the PMD, moist currents from the Arabian Sea are likely to penetrate the upper and central parts of the country starting June 16, triggering extensive weather activity. The combination of these systems will lead to significant atmospheric instability.
Expected Phenomena
The Met Office has outlined that scattered dust storms, windstorms, and rain-thunderstorms are expected across multiple regions. These will be accompanied by isolated heavy rainfall and hailstorms in certain areas.
Affected Areas
The forecast specifically mentions Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Murree, Galliyat, Attock, and other cities as likely to experience these weather conditions. Residents in these areas are advised to take necessary precautions.
Advisory
Authorities recommend staying indoors during severe weather, securing loose objects, and avoiding unnecessary travel. The PMD will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
