RAWALPINDI, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 6th Jul, 2026) The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has predicted windstorms, gusty winds, and isolated heavy rainfall across the upper and central parts of the country over the next two days, advising relevant departments, tourists, travelers, and farmers to adopt precautionary measures.

According to the PMD, moist currents from the Arabian Sea are continuously penetrating the upper parts of the country, while additional moisture from the Bay of Bengal is expected to enter northeastern regions from tonight. Furthermore, a westerly wave is scheduled to influence the upper regions triggering a new spell of precipitation.

Under the influence of these weather systems, intermittent rain-windstorms and thundershowers are expected in Kashmir and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from tonight until July 8, with heavy falls likely in isolated areas. Similar weather patterns are anticipated in Waziristan, Bannu, and Dera Ismail Khan on July 7 and July 8.

The Met Office warned that heavy rain, strong winds, and lightning could cause structural damage to vulnerable buildings, solar panels, electric poles, and billboards. Landslides may also disrupt traffic in the mountainous terrain of upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Kashmir on July 7 and July 8, while water flows are expected to increase in local nullahs of Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan, and the hill torrents of Dera Ghazi Khan.

Tourists and travelers have been advised to avoid unnecessary journeys and exercise extreme caution during travel. Farmers are recommended to plan their agricultural activities and secure livestock in accordance with the weather forecast.

The PMD noted that the incoming rain spell will gradually reduce the prevailing intense heatwave conditions across the country, prompting all relevant disaster management and administrative departments to remain alert to mitigate any untoward situation.
