First pre-monsoon showers during next 48 hours

KARACHI: The Met office has predicted that the first pre-monsoon showers over the North-Eastern parts of the country (Islamabad, Hazara, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, Lahore, Faisalabad, Sargodha division and Kashmir) will take place during the next 48 hours. 

According to the Met office, some pre-monsoon currents have started to penetrate the upper parts of Pakistan. These are likely to produce the first pre-monsoon showers. The expected showers will lead to a decline in temperatures in Punjab, KPK and Kashmir from Saturday.

The second spells of pre-monsoon showers are expected from 20th June and the third spell will be in the last week of June.

Regular monsoon rains are likely to start from the first week of July
