Lahore, May 6, 2025 – A refreshing change is on the horizon for parts of Punjab as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecasts rain and thunderstorms across several districts, including Lahore, on Wednesday afternoon. While much of the province will continue to swelter under hot and dry conditions, specific regions are bracing for a dynamic weather shift.
According to the PMD, rainfall accompanied by gusty winds and thunder is expected in the late hours of Wednesday in areas such as the Pothohar region, Murree, Galiyat, Sialkot, Narowal, and the bustling capital city of Lahore. Residents in these areas can anticipate a brief respite from the heat as clouds roll in and showers bring cooler temperatures.
In the northern hilly areas, including Murree and Galiyat, partly cloudy skies are likely to give way to thunderstorms and strong winds by Tuesday night, setting the stage for an active weather pattern. The southern districts of Punjab, including Layyah, Bhakkar, Dera Ghazi Khan, Taunsa, and Rajanpur, are also on the radar for potential rain and storm activity, offering relief to these typically arid regions.
The PMD has urged residents to remain vigilant, as lightning and powerful wind gusts could cause minor disruptions in affected areas. Authorities recommend securing outdoor items and avoiding open fields during stormy conditions to ensure safety.
As Punjab prepares for this mixed weather bag, the forecast serves as a reminder of nature’s unpredictability. Stay tuned for updates, and keep an umbrella handy if you’re in one of the districts expecting rain!
