Dust storms and rain likely in upper and central areas from June 11

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Meteorological Department has said dust storms, strong winds and rain-thunderstorms are expected in upper and central parts of the country from June 11 to 13, with isolated heavy falls and hail also possible during the period.

According to the Met Office, the weather activity is linked to a western disturbance that is likely to reach the upper parts of the country on June 11 and remain in effect until June 13.

The department also said moist currents from the Arabian Sea are expected to move into central and upper regions, which could further strengthen the system and intensify weather conditions.

The forecast points to a mix of dust storms, windstorms and thunderstorms across the affected areas over the three-day spell, while some locations may receive heavier rainfall and hail.
