Pakistan weather and temperature

Pakistan has a cool, dry winter starting from November in the North and December in the South but it gets progressively wetter during January and February especially in the western parts of the country. Snowfall is common in Northern Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Azad Kashmir, Gilgit Baltistan and Central Balochistan. Spring (March-April) in the North receives ample rain due to the Western Disturbances, Most of Punjab and Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa also receive substantial spring precipitation. Most of the country remains dry and hot during May and June and Balochistan remains this way until Autumn. The Southwest Monsoon reaches Pakistn in the beginning of July and this leads to heavy rainfall and high humidity. As the Monsoons retreat a short, dry Autumn commences in September in the far North and October in the rest of the country.
