However, Tuesday could see a change in the weather narrative, particularly in areas like Chitral, Dir, Swat, Kohistan, Kurram, Khyber, Shangla, and Buner, where rain and thundershowers are probable during the evening and night.

In Sindh, the heatwave is expected to persist, with dry and hot conditions projected for both Monday and Tuesday.
