In the latest weather update, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted a welcome relief from the scorching heat as rain and thunderstorms are expected across the country from September 15 to 20.

- The spell is expected to continue with occasional breaks until September 20, bringing relief from the prevailing hot weather.
Impacts and Advisories:
- The increased rainfall may lead to rising water levels in local nullahs and streams in several regions, potentially affecting Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, Chitral, Swat, and others from September 17 to 19.
- Landslides are a concern in vulnerable areas such as Murree, Galliyat, Kashmir, and others during the wet spell from September 16 to 19.
- The hot and humid conditions are expected to subside during this period.
- Farmers are advised to plan their crop activities accordingly to harness the benefits of the rainfall.
- Tourists and travelers are urged to exercise caution to avoid any unexpected situations during the weather disturbances.
