If you’re planning travel, checking on family, or simply curious, the live forecast above gives Pakistan’s current conditions. Expect a sharp contrast between the hot, arid plains and the cooler northern highlands, so your plans will depend heavily on which region you’re looking at.
What is the typical weather pattern across Pakistan?
Pakistan experiences four distinct seasons: a mild winter (December–February), a hot spring (March–May), the monsoon summer (June–September), and a dry autumn (October–November). The southern plains, including cities like Karachi and Lahore, see extreme summer heat with temperatures often exceeding 40°C, while the northern areas, such as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), stay much cooler. The monsoon brings most of the annual rainfall, particularly to the eastern provinces, and can cause flooding.
How do conditions vary by city?
In Pakistan weather Lahore and Pakistan weather Multan share a semi-arid climate with very hot summers and mild winters. Pakistan weather Peshawar, in KPK, is slightly cooler thanks to its elevation, but still sees hot summers. Up north, the mountainous regions can be chilly even in summer.

Does Pakistan ever see snow?

Is the monsoon dangerous in Pakistan?

How accurate are 14-day and 30-day forecasts for Pakistan?
