Thundershowers likely today

Islamabad: Amid rising daytime temperatures, the Pakistan Meteorological Department has forecast thundershowers in Islamabad and adjoining areas for today (Tuesday) promising pleasant weather.

On Monday, the weather in Islamabad remained sunny and windy until early afternoon and turned cloudy afterward.
