Scattered rain on Eid likely

Islamabad: Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) forecast scattered rain spells on Eid-ul-Azha for different cities including Islamabad and Rawalpindi.

Talking to APP, spokesman PMD Dr Zaheer Babar said that the rain spell would start in different cities from next week and would persist for three days in upper and central Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan, Kashmir and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

He said these spells would subdue the temperature turning it into pleasant weather.

Dr Zaheer said that water level would rise in the major rivers improving the water reservoirs.

Heavy rains may trigger land sliding in the vulnerable areas of Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan and Upper Khyber Pakhtunkhuwa, he added.
