PESHAWAR: The Meteorological Department has issued an alert predicting rain over the next 2 to 4 hours in several districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including North Waziristan, Kurram, and Parachinar. Rain is also expected in Kohat, Orakzai, Bannu, Peshawar, Charsadda, and Haripur.

Other areas likely to receive rainfall include Khyber, Nowshera, Dir, Swabi, Drosh, Shangla, Buner, Swat, and Kalam.

Officials have also warned of possible hailstorms in some locations during the same period and advised citizens to take precautionary measures due to deteriorating weather conditions.

In District Khyber, strong winds accompanied by rain have already triggered storm-like conditions. In Peshawar, heavy windstorms turned daylight into near darkness as dust-laden winds swept across the city.

Reduced visibility due to strong winds has caused difficulties for commuters in several parts of Peshawar. The Meteorological Department has further said that rain is expected in the city today and tomorrow as well.
