They say a strong westerly wave will start affecting Balochistan on April 17 and move towards the upper areas by April 18.

In Sindh, cities like Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, and Jacobabad might get heavy rainfall during these days. Similarly, Balochistan, especially places like Gwadar, Kech, and Awaran, could see significant rain.

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, places such as Chitral, Swat, and Abbottabad might experience rain, thunderstorms, and even snow in the high mountains. There could also be hailstorms in some spots.
