Hailstorms, heavy rainfall, and sandstorms hit Pakistan


Updated:May 28, 2025 07:38 AM




On May 24, influenced by the intrusion of cold air from mid-latitudes and warm, moist monsoon winds from low latitudes, northern Pakistan experienced severe convective weather such as hailstorms and heavy rainfall. This was accompanied by strong winds of force 7–8, with gusts reaching force 9–10, leading to widespread sandstorms. The capital, Islamabad, and Punjab Province were both affected. Various disasters triggered by this weather have resulted in multiple casualties.
