More rains, snowfall expected in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted more rain, wind, and thunderstorms in Peshawar and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from Thursday evening to Saturday. This is due to a weather system called a westerly wave, which is affecting central and upper Pakistan and is expected to last until March 31.

Windstorms, hailstorms, and lightning may also cause damage to crops and structures like electric poles and solar panels.
