Pakistan has experienced another rare and surprising weather event as snowfall was recorded in the desert areas of Nushki district in Balochistan.
Local residents said this is the first time in nearly 20 years that snow has fallen in the region, making the event highly unusual and memorable for the community.
The snowfall turned wide stretches of dry sand dunes into a white, snow-covered landscape. Many people were left amazed by the sudden change, as deserts are normally known for hot and dry weather rather than cold winter conditions.
Videos and photos of the rare sight quickly spread, showing snow resting on desert ground where such scenes are almost never seen.
This unusual snowfall reflects the changing and unpredictable weather patterns being seen across Pakistan. In recent years, the country has experienced extreme heat, heavy rains, floods, and now rare snowfall in unexpected areas. Such events point to shifting climate conditions that are affecting both urban and remote regions.
Although Pakistan contributes very little to global greenhouse gas emissions, it remains one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change.
Rising temperatures, irregular rainfall, and unexpected winter events are creating serious challenges for agriculture, water resources, and daily life.
Experts warn that these changing patterns may become more frequent in the future. Unseasonal weather can disrupt farming cycles, damage infrastructure, and affect local livelihoods.
The snowfall in Nushki serves as another reminder of the urgent need for climate planning, environmental protection, and stronger policies to manage climate-related risks across the country.
