ISLAMABAD: The National Disaster Management Authority’s (NDMA) National Emergencies Operation Centre (NEOC) on Friday issued a weather advisory warning of potentially severe weather conditions expected to affect parts of Punjab and Islamabad within the next 12 hours.
The weather advisory came two days after the federal capital and parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) were pummeled by a heavy hailstorm, leaving a trail of destruction that included smashed car windscreens, damaged solar panels, and broken tree branches.
According to the NEOC, a westerly disturbance is likely to cause unstable weather across several regions, bringing heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, windstorms, and isolated hailstorms.
Areas likely to be affected are the Pothohar region, particularly Islamabad and Rawalpindi, as well as districts of upper Punjab such as Attock, Chakwal, Gujrat, and Jhelum. Areas in central Punjab, including Faisalabad, Hafizabad, Jhang, Khushab, Mianwali, Lahore, Narowal, Sahiwal, Sargodha, and Sheikhupura may also experience significant weather activity during this period.
