Pakistan’s weather is a study in contrasts — from the scorching Indus plains to the snow-capped Karakoram. As the live forecast above shows, conditions shift rapidly during the monsoon and winter, so local checks are essential.
What is the typical climate across Pakistan?
A single country spans desert, fertile plains, and high mountains, so climate varies hugely by region.
- Coastal south (Karachi) stays hot and humid, with light monsoon rain from July to September.
- Punjab plains (Lahore, Multan) endure extreme summer heat (45°C) and cooler winters, punctuated by heavy July–August downpours.
- Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (Peshawar) has a semi-arid climate, cooler than Punjab, with winter rainfall and occasional dust storms.
- Northern areas (Gilgit-Baltistan and KPK’s mountains) see heavy snow in winter and pleasant summers; the monsoon barely reaches here.
What is the weather like in major cities right now?
Refer to the live forecast above for current conditions in Pakistan’s key urban centres.
- Lahore: hot and humid, with thundery showers likely during the monsoon spell.
- Peshawar: slightly drier and cooler than Lahore, with dusty winds and periodic rain.
- Multan: among the hottest cities in the world from May to August; expect extreme heat with very little rain.
- The KPK highlands, including Swat and Abbottabad, offer noticeably cooler temperatures even in summer.
