A fresh spell of rain and snowfall is expected to bring colder weather to several parts of Pakistan as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecasts changing weather conditions from November 10 to 14, 2026. Daytime temperatures could drop by 2 to 4 degrees Celsius, while fog may develop in some plain areas after the rainfall.
According to the Meteorological Department, upper parts of the country are likely to experience rain, thunderstorms, strong winds and light snowfall over the coming days.
The expected weather system could bring a noticeable increase in cold conditions, particularly in mountainous and northern regions.
Rain and Snowfall Expected in Northern Pakistan
The PMD has predicted rain in different areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan between November 10 and 14.
Some locations may experience thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds, while higher mountainous areas could receive light snowfall.
The snowfall is expected to make conditions colder in northern regions, where temperatures are already relatively low during November.
Residents and travellers in these areas are advised to monitor weather updates, particularly before travelling through mountainous routes.
Punjab and Islamabad Likely to Receive Rain
Several areas of Punjab are expected to receive rainfall on November 12 and 13.
Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Murree, Galiyat and surrounding areas are also likely to experience rain during the forecast period.
The rainfall could bring cooler conditions across the affected cities and surrounding regions.
In hill stations such as Murree and Galiyat, temperatures may fall further after the rain, making the weather noticeably colder for residents and tourists.
Rain Forecast for Balochistan, Dry Weather in Sindh
The Meteorological Department has also forecast rain and thunderstorms in different districts of Balochistan on November 11 and 12.
These showers could bring cooler weather to parts of the province.
However, most districts of Sindh are expected to remain dry during the forecast period.
This means that while northern and western regions may experience rain, much of Sindh is unlikely to receive significant rainfall under the current forecast.
Temperatures Could Drop by 2 to 4 Degrees Celsius
One of the major effects of the expected weather system will be a reduction in daytime temperatures.
According to the PMD, temperatures in affected areas could decrease by approximately 2 to 4 degrees Celsius following the rainfall.
The drop may bring colder mornings and evenings, especially in northern Pakistan and areas close to the mountains.
People living in these regions may need to prepare for cooler weather as the winter season progresses.
Fog May Develop After Rainfall
The Meteorological Department has also warned that fog could form in some plain areas after the rain.
Fog may reduce visibility, particularly during the early morning and late-night hours.
Motorists travelling on highways and other roads should remain cautious and follow relevant traffic and weather advisories.
Drivers are advised to maintain safe distances between vehicles and avoid unnecessary speeding when visibility is poor.
What Should Travellers Expect?
The forecast could affect travel conditions in mountainous areas where rain and snowfall may make roads slippery.
Tourists planning to visit Murree, Galiyat, Gilgit-Baltistan or other northern destinations should check the latest weather conditions before beginning their journeys.
Residents in areas expecting thunderstorms should also remain cautious during periods of strong winds and heavy showers.
Although the forecast indicates a noticeable change in weather, the intensity and timing of rainfall may vary between locations.
Will Pakistan Experience a Stronger Cold Spell?
The expected rain and snowfall could mark a noticeable shift toward colder conditions in several parts of the country.
However, the Meteorological Department’s forecast does not necessarily mean that every city will experience the same level of rainfall or temperature reduction.
For now, northern Pakistan, parts of Punjab and Balochistan are expected to see the most noticeable weather changes, while Sindh is forecast to remain largely dry.
The coming days will reveal how widespread the rain and snowfall become and how significantly temperatures fall across the affected regions.
