On May 11, strong rain, thunderstorms, and hailstorms hit many parts of Pakistan, including Islamabad, Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Malakand. The bad weather caused serious problems like urban flooding, power cuts, and interruptions to daily life.
In Battagram, streams overflowed due to the heavy rain, flooding roads and making travel difficult. In Chiniot, strong winds damaged power lines, leading to feeder outages and electricity breakdowns in different areas.

In contrast to the northern and central regions, Karachi experienced very hot and dry weather. Although there was no rain in the city, the temperature felt like 40°C due to high humidity and heat.
The Pakistan Meteorological Department has said that light rain is expected in parts of Sindh and Kashmir, but no major change in weather is predicted for Karachi in the next day or two.
