A robust westerly wave currently dominates western regions of Pakistan and is anticipated to affect most parts of the country until Sunday.

On Friday and Saturday, rain, wind, and thunderstorms are expected in several districts, including Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, and Lahore. Heavy rainfall and hailstorms are possible at isolated locations, with intermittent rain and snowfall projected for Murree and surrounding areas.
