A new rainy period and gusty winds should bring relief to parts of Pakistan from Wednesday, following a stretch of intense heat.
According to the Pakistan meteorological department, the meteorological system is expected to enter the country on May 28, probably affecting the regions of northern Pakistan.
A change of time is planned from Thursday, with dispersed rains and strong winds planned in various regions.
In Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (KP), most districts will remain dry and hot, although isolated hail showers and hailstorms are possible in areas such as Chitral, Swat, Dir, Malakand, Shangla, Kurram, Orakzai, Bajaur, Khyber and North Waziristan.
A cloudy sky and thunderstorms are also planned for Mansehra, Abbottabad, Batagram, Tor Ghar, Lakki Marwat, Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu, Hangu, Mardan, Charsadda and Swabi. Dust storms and hail are probably in the plains.
Monday, Peshawar recorded a summit of 38 ° C, Dera Ismail Khan 40 ° C, Chitral 34 ° C, Dir 33 ° C, Swat and Mingora 35 ° C, Kalam 27 ° C and Malam Jabba 22 ° C
Serious thunderstorms that swept the Punjab killed at least 13 people and injured 92 others, according to an initial assessment of damage published by the province of disaster management (PDMA) on Saturday.
Last week, the powerful storm system sparked multiple weather incidents across the province. Deaths have been reported in several districts, including Rawalpindi, Jhelum, Sheikhupura, Nankana Sahib and Sialkot, confirmed the PDMA.
Most of the victims occurred due to the collapse of dilapidated buildings or people present in dangerous places during the storm, the agency said. Several mud brick and poorly built houses have suffered significant damage.
Meanwhile, the current heat wave continues to affect large parts of Pakistan, the Sindh facing some of the most extreme temperatures this week.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) provides burning and dry conditions in the province for at least the next two days. Temperatures should peak at 46 ° C in cities such as Mithi and Badin, while Jacobabad and Dhalbandin can reach up to 45 ° C.
Elsewhere in the country, the heat wave is also wreaking havoc, in particular through the plains of Punjab and Balutchistan.
Afternoon dust storms and strong winds are likely to affect parts of Sindh and Balutchistan, especially in Jacobabad, Shikarpur and Dadu.
