He said intermittent rains were expected in the upper parts of the country. “Weather will remain warm in the afternoon, but cool breeze and rain are expected in the evening or night till June 22,” he elaborated.

The official said that moist currents from Arabian sea were penetrating upper or central parts of the country, adding that a shallow westerly wave is also present over those regions.

He said that windstorm/thunderstorm coupled with rain is expected at isolated places in Azad Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan, upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Islamabad and upper Punjab.

Windstorm/thunderstorm-rain (with isolated heavy falls) is expected in lower KP, northeast Balochistan and central/south Punjab during evening or night, while a hot and dry weather is expected in other parts of the country, he added.
