Pakistan Weather Today, 29 October 2026: Mainly Dry, Rain Only in the North at Night

Most of Pakistan will stay mainly dry on Thursday, 29 October 2026, with cold mornings and nights in the northern areas and a chance of rain confined to a few northern districts at night, according to the Pakistan Meteorological Department. The department’s outlook for Thursday says most districts of Punjab will remain dry, while Murree, Galyat and adjoining areas will stay cold in the morning and at night, with partly cloudy conditions and light rain with thunderstorms possible at night. Islamabad and surrounding areas are likely to remain dry, although cooler conditions are expected in the morning and at night. In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, most districts will remain dry, while hilly areas are expected to be cold in the morning and at night. Partly cloudy conditions and thunderstorms with rain are likely in Chitral, Swat and adjoining areas at night. Most districts of Sindh are expected to remain dry, with hot conditions during the day. Most districts of Balochistan will remain dry, while northern districts will be cold in the morning and at night. Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir will remain partly cloudy and cold, with rain and thunderstorms likely at a few places in the evening and at night. The pattern fits the department’s weekly outlook for 27 October to 1 November, which says continental air is covering most of the country. Continental air is dry air arriving over land rather than from the sea, and it brings clear skies, warm afternoons and cold nights. Under that outlook, Thursday is listed as mainly dry, with rain, wind or thunderstorm likely only in Chitral and its surroundings, and the rain previously shown for Islamabad and Pothohar on Friday, 30 October, has been removed from the newest outlook.
