After weeks of scorching heat, Pakistanis are waiting for hope.
The Meteorological Department has predicted rain in various parts of the country from May 27, which is expected to bring down the mercury level and provide a much-needed respite from the intense heat wave.
According to the Met Department, rain is expected in higher districts like Zhob, Barhan and Balochistan from May 27 to May 29, while Chitral, Dir, Peshawar and other districts are expected to receive rain from May 28 to June 1.
Even cities like Murree, Galyat and Rawalpindi are likely to see some rain to bring down the temperature and provide a welcome respite from the heat.
Further, the Information Department has predicted storms in Karachi, Thatta, Badin and Hyderabad in May, which will not only provide much-needed water to the parched cities, but also to keep the heat at bay.
However, the Ministry of Security has warned that a strong heat wave may continue in the upper regions from May 28, and temperatures are expected to rise by 6-8 degrees in the central and southern regions of the country.
It can disrupt your daily routine and cause problems for people, especially vulnerable sections of society.
