Heavy rain and gusty winds affected Islamabad and Rawalpindi, with the Pakistan Meteorological Department forecasting more showers before Eidul Fitr. Dawn reported that a westerly weather system moved across the region, bringing intermittent rainfall and a noticeable drop in temperature.
Rainfall was recorded at several locations across the twin cities, including Saidpur, Golra, Bokra and Zero Point in Islamabad, as well as Shamsabad, Chaklala, Pirwadhai, Gawalmandi and New Kattarian in Rawalpindi. The weather pattern has made conditions cooler and raised the possibility of further rain in the coming days.
The report said the weather system was expected to remain active through March 16, which could continue to affect travel, outdoor activity and local routines. The development comes as many residents prepare for Eid-related shopping and travel plans.
Dawn framed the forecast as part of a broader shift in seasonal conditions, with more unstable weather likely in the short term across northern parts of Pakistan.
