As Pakistan prepares to celebrate Independence Day, nature seems ready to join the celebrations with a refreshing spell of rain in many parts of the country.
Weather experts have predicted that showers will bless Islamabad, upper Punjab, northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan on August 14. For those planning outdoor gatherings, flag-hoisting ceremonies, or family trips, the rain is expected to bring pleasant weather and cool breezes, making the day even more special.
According to the latest forecast, the change in weather is due to the arrival of westerly winds in the northern regions of the country. These winds are expected to interact with moist air coming from the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, resulting in widespread rainfall.
The rainy spell is likely to continue in various parts of Pakistan between August 14 and 17, with occasional heavy showers in some areas. From August 18 to 21, more intense rain is expected across the country, offering much-needed relief from the recent hot and humid conditions.
Residents of hilly areas have been advised to remain cautious during prolonged showers, as there is a risk of landslides. Low-lying regions may also experience waterlogging, so basic safety measures should be followed.
While precautions are important, many are welcoming the forecast as a perfect gift for the nation’s 78th Independence Day. With cooler weather, fresh air, and the sound of rainfall, this August 14 could turn into a truly memorable celebration for millions of Pakistanis.
