Adding an extra chill to the weather, the much needed rainfall lashed the Federal Capital along with different cities across Punjab.

According to the Meteorological Department, a series of rain-thunderstorm with snowfall over the hills is expected at scattered places in North-East Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, FATA, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Gujranwala, Faisalabad, Sargodha divisions, Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan while isolated rain-thunderstorm in DG Khan, Multan, Bahawalpur and Sahiwal divisions will occur during the next twelve hours.
