What is the weather like in Pakistan?

Located at latitude 23°30' to 36°45'N, Pakistan is in tropical and subtropical climate zones. But its weather further differs because of the different terrains. As a whole, the climate here is hot with less rain around a year and the precipitation concentrates in summer. The annual average temperature is 4-39℃ (40-102℉). The southern plains are influenced by the monsoon, so the precipitation is more than that of northern highland. The mean annual precipitation in Pakistan is less than 250mm, and decreases from northern mountains to the southern plain. 

The weather in October to next February in winter is best for travelling to Pakistan, because the daytime temperature, at about 25 degree Celsius (77 degree Fahrenheit), is suitable for outdoor activities, like hiking or climbing mountains. But the temperature difference between day and night is large, so you need to prepare an extra coat to avoid catching a cold. 

Try to avoid travelling there in summer from May to August, as the temperature is much high at most time, and sometimes it is even over 45 degree Celsius (113 degree Fahrenheit).

Also, arrange your itinerary properly during the Ramadan, when most of the shops and restaurants open half day only. In 2026, it will start on February 17th; on March 19th, the Ramadan will end and local Muslims will celebrate Eid-Fitr with Long Street Feast and other kinds of activities.

High/Low Temperatures of Pakistan

Average Rainfall of Pakistan

From June to August, Pakistan is influenced by the India Ocean Monsoon, so the rainfall is much higher in this time. In addition, the origin of the Indus River is mostly meltwater, and the high temperature accelerates the melting of ice and snow. The flood may occur when the two collide.
