Residents across Pakistan finally found respite from the prolonged heatwave as rainfall swept through Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Kashmir, and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The showers varied in intensity, with some areas experiencing heavy thunderstorms while others saw light drizzles, but all regions reported a noticeable drop in temperature.
Punjab and Karachi Experience Significant Cooling
In Punjab, districts such as Burewala, Sahiwal, and Vehari witnessed rain accompanied by thunder and lightning, bringing immediate relief from the sweltering heat. Meanwhile, Karachi’s Sohrab Goth, Gulshan-e-Iqbal, and Orangi received rain and strong winds, breaking the city’s muggy conditions and improving air quality.
Interior Sindh and Balochistan Also Benefit
Light rain in Sindh’s Ubauro, Dharki, and Naushero Feroze added to the pleasant weather, while Dera Murad Jamali in Balochistan also enjoyed cooler temperatures after the showers. The sudden change provided much-needed relief, particularly for agricultural communities and urban populations struggling with the extreme heat.

The rainfall marks a temporary pause in the ongoing heatwave that had pushed temperatures to uncomfortable highs. While more seasonal weather is expected in the coming days, the immediate cooling effect has been widely welcomed, offering hope for further relief as monsoon patterns develop.
