As westerly winds approach Pakistan this week, precipitation is expected. Currently, this system is causing heavy rains in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, Yemen, and Iran.
The weather system is expected to last from March 16 to the first week of April, affecting various regions of the country, according to Pak Weather, Pakistan’s largest automated weather station network.
