Pakistan weather tomorrow, Sunday 8 November 2026, will be mostly dry and sunny across the plains: Karachi will reach 35°C under long spells of sunshine, Lahore will see a warm 34°C under smoky haze, and Islamabad will top 27°C with no rain expected. The real change comes just after the weekend, when a new westerly spell brings rain back to the north from Monday 9 November, with rain and thunderstorms expected over upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir on Tuesday 10 November.
Fresh PMD Advisory: Rain and Snow Across Northern Pakistan, November 11–14
The Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) issued a fresh advisory on November 10: a shallow westerly wave entered the western and northern parts of the country on the evening of November 10, is likely to intensify on November 12, and may persist over upper parts until the morning of November 14.
Rain accompanied by wind and thunderstorms, with isolated heavy falls and hailstorms, is expected in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa from November 11 to the morning of November 14, with occasional gaps — covering Dir, Chitral, Swat, Kohistan, Shangla, Battagram, Mansehra, Abbottabad, Haripur, Buner, Malakand, Bajaur, Mohmand, Kohat, Peshawar, Charsadda, Nowshera, Mardan, Swabi, Khyber, Orakzai, Kurram, Hangu, Lakki Marwat, Karak, Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan and Waziristan. Snowfall over the mountains is also likely during the period.
In Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, rain with wind and thunderstorms and snowfall over the hills is expected until the afternoon of November 14 — Neelum Valley, Muzaffarabad, Rawalakot, Poonch, Hattian, Bagh, Haveli, Sudhanoti, Kotli, Bhimber and Mirpur in Kashmir, and Diamir, Astore, Ghizer, Skardu, Hunza, Gilgit, Ghanche and Shigar in Gilgit-Baltistan. Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Murree and the Galiyat region are likely to receive light rain with gusty winds and thunderstorms on Tuesday night, and isolated rain is expected in parts of Balochistan — Zhob, Barkhan, Musakhel, Quetta, Ziarat, Chaman, Qila Abdullah, Qila Saifullah, Kalat and Khuzdar — on November 11 (night) and November 12. Daytime temperatures may fall by 2–4°C during the spell, light snowfall is possible over high mountains and glaciers, and fog may develop in patches over plain areas after the wet spell. Rain and snowfall could make roads slippery in mountainous areas, and heavy snowfall may close some routes.
If you have been waiting for a clear Sunday, this is it. The plains stay dry, the sun stays out, and the only thing to watch is the haze hanging over Punjab and parts of Balochistan. But if you live in the north, or you are planning a trip to the mountains next week, pack for rain.

Karachi: warm and sunny, cooling slightly
Karachi gets the warmest Sunday in the country. AccuWeather expects the city to record a maximum of 35°C on Sunday 8 November, with a minimum of 22°C and long periods of sunshine through the day. There is a zero per cent chance of rainfall, and the dry, sunny spell continues into Monday, when the high falls a little further to 34°C.
The cooling trend is gentle but real. Saturday 7 November was the hottest of the three days at 37°C, with a RealFeel of 38°C, so Sunday already feels a touch easier. Westerly to west-northwesterly winds of 11 to 15 kilometres per hour will keep the air moving along the coast.
Lahore and Punjab: a warm, hazy Sunday
Lahore and the rest of Punjab will see a warm Sunday under smoky haze, with a high of 34°C and a low of 20°C. There is no rain in the forecast for the province on Sunday, and the pattern holds for the first days of the week: Monday 9 and Tuesday 10 November are also forecast at 34°C with smoky haze, and Wednesday stays at 34°C.
The haze is the story in Punjab right now, not the temperature. The Pakistan Meteorological Department has warned that fog and smog may continue over northeastern and southern Punjab on 7 and 8 November. Visibility can drop sharply in the early morning, especially on the motorways, so drivers should plan for slower journeys before sunrise and keep headlights on.
The change in Punjab comes later in the week. Thursday 12 November turns overcast with the high easing to 31°C, and Friday 13 November is forecast clear at 28°C, with Saturday 14 November also clear at 28°C. The first hint of rain in Punjab appears on Sunday 15 November, when patchy rain is possible — still a week away, and forecasts that far out shift often.
Islamabad: the pick of the weekend
Islamabad has arguably the best Sunday weather in the country. The capital is forecast sunny with a high of 27°C and a low of 14°C, and no significant rain is expected. The sun rises at 6:33am and sets at 5:09pm, so there is a full, bright day to enjoy, and the evening turns pleasantly cool.
One forecast puts Sunday’s high a touch lower, at 25°C with light daytime cloud and a small 10 per cent chance of rain, so a few clouds drifting over the Margallas would not be a surprise. Either way, the message is the same: a dry, mild, comfortable day. Mornings and nights are now noticeably crisper, so a light jacket for the evening is worth carrying even though the afternoon feels warm.
Sindh: warm and dry beyond Karachi
Away from Karachi, Sindh stays warm and dry on Sunday. The province is forecast at a high of 30°C and a low of 26°C, with cloudy skies and no rain expected. Monday 9 November is forecast clear at 29°C, and the province stays around 28–29°C through the rest of the week, with no rainy days in the 14-day outlook. The nights stay warm at 25–26°C, and farmers in the plains have no rain to worry about this week, which is good news for the wheat sowing season now under way.
Balochistan: hazy days, cold nights
Balochistan’s Sunday looks much like Punjab’s: smoky haze, a high of 32°C and a low of 18°C, with no rain. Monday and Tuesday stay at 32°C under the same hazy skies, before the high eases to 30°C under overcast skies on Thursday 12 November and 29°C on Friday 13 November. The province’s nights are already cold in the highlands, and the north-eastern districts are in line for rain later in the week as the westerly system spreads.
The north: rain returns on 9–10 November
The biggest weather story of the coming week is not Sunday at all, but what follows it. The PMD’s weekly outlook, issued on 5 November, says Pakistan’s plains will stay mostly dry from 8 to 14 November, but a new spell of unsettled weather arrives from Monday 9 November. Rain chances increase in upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on 9 November, and on Tuesday 10 November rain and thunderstorms are expected over upper Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir.
The rain is expected to spread further from 11 to 13 November, reaching north Punjab, Murree and Galiyat, the Pothohar region, Hazara, Kashmir and north-eastern Balochistan, with snowfall possible over the high mountains of Gilgit-Baltistan. That is the first proper wintry system of the season, and it fits the PMD’s monthly outlook for November, which expects above-normal rainfall across much of the country, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, north-western Punjab and parts of Kashmir.
For the northern districts, the advice is straightforward. The upper areas — Chitral, Dir, Swat, Kohistan and the high valleys — are already cold, and the PMD has been forecasting light rain and snowfall over the mountains at isolated places there. Travellers heading to the mountains next week should carry warm clothing and check road conditions before leaving.
The week ahead: dry plains, wet north
Put the week together and the pattern is simple. From Sunday 8 to Wednesday 11 November, the plains — Punjab, Sindh, central and southern Balochistan, and the capital — stay dry and warm, with highs in the low to mid-30s in the south and the high 20s in Islamabad. The north turns wet from Monday, and the rain spreads southwards into the hills of Punjab and the Pothohar region from 11 November onwards.
The monthly picture backs this up. Our report on the Pakistan November 2026 rainfall outlook from the PMD sets out why the Met Office expects a wetter-than-usual November, with above-normal rain in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, north-western Punjab and Kashmir, and temperatures running above average nationwide. This week’s system is the first test of that outlook.
The dry start to the week is not unusual for November. The PMD had already forecast that most parts of the country would stay dry through the weekend, with only the upper areas seeing light rain and snowfall, as we reported in our piece on the PMD forecast of mostly dry weather with no heavy rain alert this week. The change from 9 November is what makes this week different from the last one: the dry spell ends, at least in the north.
Upper Punjab has already had a taste of the changing season. We covered the last spell of rain over the region in our weekend weather report on rain over upper Punjab on 24 October, and the coming system follows the same track — a westerly wave moving in from the west, rain first in the high north, then spreading to the hills and the Pothohar plateau.
Smog in Punjab: what to expect on Sunday
The smog deserves its own warning. With smoky haze forecast across Punjab and Balochistan on Sunday, and the PMD warning of fog and smog over northeastern and southern Punjab on 7–8 November, air quality in Lahore and the surrounding districts will be poor — Islamabad’s air quality index was already at 153, in the unhealthy range, on Saturday evening. Children, older people and anyone with asthma should limit outdoor exercise on Sunday morning, when the haze is thickest, and drivers should allow extra time, because visibility can fall quickly in patches of fog.
What this means for your Sunday
For most of Pakistan, Sunday 8 November is a straightforward day: dry, sunny and warm. Karachi at 35°C is the place for the beach, but take water and shade. Lahore at 34°C under haze is a day for indoor plans in the morning and the outdoors later, when the smog thins. Islamabad at 27°C is the best of the three big cities for a full day outside. The one group that should plan differently is anyone heading north: if your trip to Swat, Chitral, Gilgit-Baltistan or Kashmir starts on Monday or Tuesday, expect rain, and snow on the high passes, so leave a day earlier if you can. Forecasts change, and the rain dates could shift by a day in either direction, so check the latest PMD update before travelling next week.
