      <title>Monsoon rains to lash cities across Pakistan from June 25: PMD</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330420888/monsoon-rains-to-lash-cities-across-pakistan-from-june-25-pmd</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) has forecasted widespread monsoon rains across the country, starting from June 25, which are expected to continue until July 2.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During this period, various regions will experience thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and strong winds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the PMD, heavy rainfall is expected in Dir, Malakand, Buner, Shangla, and Kohistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From June 25 to 28, parts of Balochistan including Zhob, Barkhan, Quetta, Mastung, and Ziarat, are also likely to receive rain.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rainfall is also predicted in Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan from June 25 to 28.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The department has issued a warning of possible landslides in mountainous areas from June 26 to 28 and has advised local residents and tourists to exercise caution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PMD has alerted local administrations and relevant authorities about the risk of urban flooding and water accumulation in low-lying areas, urging them to stay prepared for any emergencies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;a id="hot-and-humid-weather-to-persist-in-most-parts-of-country" href="#hot-and-humid-weather-to-persist-in-most-parts-of-country" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Hot and humid weather to persist in most parts of country&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Despite the expected rainfall, most regions will continue to experience hot and humid weather.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the heat will persist, although rain is likely in Dir, Swat, Haripur, Abbottabad, and Mansehra.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Islamabad, early morning rainfall brought some relief from the heat, and the weather is expected to remain partly cloudy with chances of further rain. A rain alert has also been issued for Rawalpindi’s Nullah Lai.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Punjab and Sindh, the weather is likely to remain intensely hot and humid.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, rain is expected in Murree, Galiyat, Rawalpindi, Attock, and Chakwal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Southern Punjab cities including Multan, Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, and Dera Ghazi Khan may experience dust storms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most parts of Balochistan will also remain under the grip of heat with the possibility of dust-laden winds.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, rain and thunderstorms are likely, which may bring a slight drop in temperature.&lt;/p&gt;
