Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa weather update; light rain predicted

Peshawar and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are expected to experience rain, wind, and thunderstorms on Wednesday evening/night, Thursday, and Friday.

This forecast is based on a shallow westerly wave affecting Pakistan’s western and upper regions, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD).

Areas likely to be affected include Chitral, Dir, Swat, Kohistan, Shangla, Buner, Abbottabad, Mansehra, Haripur, Swabi, Mardan, Charsadda, Nowshera, Malakand, Bajaur, Mohmand, Khyber, Kurram, Kohat, Lakki Marwat, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan, Karak, and Waziristan. The weather will be partly cloudy in other parts of the province.

This wet spell may lead to moderate to heavy rainfall, potentially causing landslides in vulnerable areas. Windstorms, hailstorms, and lightning could damage crops, electric poles, vehicles, and solar panels. Travelers and farmers should exercise caution during this period, as temperatures are expected to decrease.

In Peshawar, maximum temperatures are predicted to range from 31-33 degrees Celsius on Thursday and 30-32 C on Friday.
