It further said that humidity in the city will range from 80-92 per cent in the morning while in the evening, it will range from 30-50pc.

The PMD had yesterday forecast the first winter rainfall across the country from Nov 4 to 7 with snowfall in the mountainous regions.

Rain and wind thunderstorms with isolated hailstorms are expected in various cities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — including Chitral, Dir, Swat, Shangla, Mansehra, Abbottabad and Malakand — Azad Kashmir, and Gilgit Baltistan from Nov 4.

The same is forecast by the PMD in other cities of KP and Punjab which include Islamabad, Peshawar, Rawalpindi, Murree, Attock, Jhelum, Sialkot, Lahore, Gujranwala, Mianwali and Faisalabad.
