The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted rain, thunderstorms, and possible hailstorms with snowfall in Peshawar and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from Sunday night to Tuesday (February 25-27).

Snowfall may disrupt traffic in several areas, and there’s a potential for landslides in Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Wind thunderstorms could damage structures like electric poles and solar panels.

In Peshawar, the minimum temperature is expected to be between 05-07 degrees Celsius on Saturday and 06-08 C on Sunday.
