Beyond Peshawar, areas such as Dir and Chitral have been experiencing continuous rain over the past two days. In Chitral, overnight snowfall has added a fresh layer to the mountainous terrain, reverting the region to winter-like conditions. Residents in Chitral, Dir, Swat, and other hilly areas have resorted to winter clothing due to the sudden temperature drop.

Humidity levels remain notably high across these regions, with Chitral at 100%, Dir at 93%, and Peshawar at 90%, intensifying the cold and damp atmosphere. The Pakistan Meteorological Department forecasts continued rain in Chitral, Dir, Malam Jabba, and Abbottabad until the weekend. Conversely, Bannu and Dera Ismail Khan are expected to experience clearer skies by Friday.

Humidity remains elevated in Multan (91%), Bahawalpur (75%), and Jhelum (73%), contributing to the prevailing weather conditions. By Friday, most cities are expected to witness clear skies with a temperature increase of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius.

In Lahore, temperatures are forecasted to range between 33°C and 35°C during the rainy period, rising to 35-37°C on Friday under sunny conditions.
