Although temperatures have fallen since June 21, the level of discomfort has in fact increased. This is because moist winds from the Arabian Sea have led to an increase in humidity levels. As a result, warm and stick conditions prevail in the region.
As stated by Skymet Meteorology Division in India, strong moist winds from south-west direction have brought respite from heatwave conditions in the region. Now, a Western Disturbance over Central Pakistan is moving in the northeast direction. Also, the deep depression which formed over Gujarat coast will also move in east-northeast direction.
A north-south trough between these two systems is likely to provide fairly widespread rain over entire Central and East Pakistan. Rain is expected from Karachi, via Multan, to Islamabad on June 24 and 25. But southwest Pakistan is likely to remain untouched. Rain will bring some much needed respite and a drop in temperatures is likely.
However, as both these systems start moving towards east, the rain belt will shift over Rajasthan and plains of northwest India. Weather in Pakistan will go dry once again and temperatures in the region will start to rise. After a relief of 2 to 3 days, dry weather conditions are expected from June 26.
