There will be significant precipitation, including heavy rains, isolated hailstorms, and snowfall in mountainous areas, due to a strong westerly wave expected to affect Pakistan from February 29 to March 02.
The forecast suggests that several regions, including Murree, Galyat, Islamabad/Rawalpindi, and numerous districts across Punjab, will experience heavy rain accompanied by windstorms and thunderstorms during this period. Additionally, heavy snowfall is expected in Murree, Galyat, and nearby areas. Rain, wind, and thunderstorms are also anticipated in other parts of Punjab from February 29 to March 02, potentially accompanied by isolated hailstorms.
Given the forecasted weather conditions, there is a risk of flash flooding in hilly areas such as Murree and Galyat, as well as in local nullahs of Islamabad/Rawalpindi on March 01-02. Road closures may occur in Murree and Galyat due to heavy rain and snowfall, and there is also a possibility of damage to structures like poles and solar panels due to windstorms.
Tourists are advised to exercise caution during this period. In Lahore, the minimum temperature is expected to range between 07-09 degrees Celsius on Wednesday and Thursday.
