Islamabad, 29 Apr, 2025: Rain forecasted in Sindh early next month as the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) predicts the arrival of a weak western weather system expected to affect parts of the region between May 2 and May 3.

Most of Sindh is still likely to experience dry and warm weather during the first week of May.
With rising temperatures and erratic weather patterns becoming more common, the PMD has reiterated the need for public awareness and preparedness in adapting to changing climate conditions across Pakistan.
