The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecasts varying intensities of rain and gusty winds in Peshawar and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa starting Wednesday night, continuing over the next two days with occasional breaks.

Strong monsoon currents from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal are expected to enter the upper parts of Pakistan tonight, impacting central and southern regions from August 2. Additionally, a westerly wave will influence the upper parts of the country from tonight.

As a result, areas like Peshawar, Swat, Kohistan, Abbottabad, Mansehra, Buner, Kurram, and Waziristan are likely to experience rain and gusty winds on Wednesday night.
