Rain, windstorms, and hailstorms forecast in upper parts of Pakistan
Most outlets reported the Pakistan Meteorological Department’s forecast of rain, windstorms, and isolated hailstorms in upper regions from October 6–7. While all mentioned the weather conditions, some added regional specifics, such as Punjab, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Kashmir, and Gilgit-Baltistan.
