Hot, dry weather forecast for Sindh

Published on: June 20, 2026 1:19 PM

Pakistan Meteorological Department on Friday forecast hot and dry weather in most districts of the Sindh province during the next 24 hours.

However, partly cloudy weather is likely in upper districts.

Mainly, hot and dry weather is likely to prevail in the province.

Meanwhile; The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) on Friday issued a nationwide weather alert, warning that strong winds, dust storms, thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, urban flooding and glacier related flood risks could affect several parts of the country over the next 12 to 24 hours, with vulnerable mountainous regions facing an elevated threat of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs).

The authority said it had already shared advance warnings with all relevant federal, provincial and district level institutions to ensure preparedness and timely response to any emergency situation.

According to the advisory, widespread rain accompanied by strong winds, dust storms and thunderstorms is expected in Islamabad, Rawalpindi and several districts of Punjab, including Murree, Attock, Chakwal, Talagang, Mandi Bahauddin, Sargodha, Gujrat, Jhelum, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Hafizabad, Lahore, Faisalabad, Khushab, Jhang, Mianwali, Dera Ghazi Khan, Kasur, Okara, Sahiwal, Multan, Bahawalpur and Rahim Yar Khan.

Authorities have also warned of possible urban flooding in Islamabad, Rawalpindi and other parts of the Potohar region.

In Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir, rain and thunderstorms are forecast in Gilgit, Skardu, Diamer, Astore, Ghizer, Hunza, Ghanche, Shigar, Neelum Valley, Muzaffarabad, Rawalakot, Bagh, Kotli, Poonch, Hattian, Mirpur and Bhimber.

The NDMA separately warned of a heightened risk of GLOFs and flash floods in northern regions due to rapidly melting glaciers and rising temperatures. Areas identified as particularly vulnerable include Hunza, Nagar, Ghizer, Skardu, Shigar, Ghanche, Astore and Diamer in Gilgit-Baltistan, as well as Upper and Lower Chitral, Swat, Kalam, Bahrain and Arkari in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The authority said Upper Dir, Swat, Kohistan and Mansehra also remain highly susceptible to flash flooding, while Gilgit, Nagar, Ghizer, Skardu, Ghanche, Darel and Tangir could face flood-related impacts. In Azad Kashmir, localised flooding may occur in Muzaffarabad, Neelum Valley, Bagh and Haveli.

The advisory warned that sudden flooding, landslides and debris flows could occur in mountainous areas, while glacier-fed rivers and streams may experience a sharp increase in water discharge. Damage to highways, link roads and other critical infrastructure is also feared.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, thunderstorms and rainfall are expected in Chitral, Dir, Swat, Battagram, Mansehra, Abbottabad, Haripur, Swabi, Mardan, Charsadda, Peshawar, Kohat, Parachinar, Karak, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan and Waziristan.

Similar weather conditions are forecast for Turbat, Kech, Awaran, Khuzdar and Zhob in Balochistan.

Sindh is also likely to receive rain at isolated locations, with strong winds and thunderstorms expected in Jacobabad, Sukkur, Larkana, Khairpur, Dadu, Ghotki, Kashmore, Shikarpur, Shaheed Benazirabad and Karachi.

The NDMA said district administrations and emergency services had been directed to remain on high alert, monitor vulnerable areas continuously and ensure the clearance of drainage systems, nullahs and sewerage networks.

Residents living near streams and low-lying areas have been advised to move valuables and livestock to safer locations.

Tourists and travellers have been urged to avoid unnecessary travel during periods of intense rainfall and to check weather forecasts and road conditions before visiting northern areas.
