Factors

[edit]

The Monsoon and the Western Disturbance are the two main factors that change the weather over Islamabad; otherwise, Continental air prevails for rest of the season. Following are the main factors that influence the weather over Islamabad.

  • Western Disturbances occur almost every month in the city, but peaking during the winter months and causes moderate to heavy rainfall, temperature also decreases due to it.
  • Fog does occur during the winter season and remains for weeks; especially near Margalla Hills.
  • Dust storms occur during summer months with peak in April and May. These dust storms are quite violent.
  • Southwest Monsoon occurs in summer from the month of June till September. These monsoon rains are quite heavy by nature and can cause severe flooding if they interact with westerly waves.
  • Continental air prevails during the period when there is no precipitation in the city.

Monthly weather conditions

[edit]

The following is the monthly summary of the climatic conditions in Islamabad.[10]

January

[edit]
Winter season in Islamabad

January is the coldest month of Islamabad. In January the weather of Islamabad is cold with some nights dropping easily below 0 °C. Most days are clear blue skies, however this month is prone to foggy nights and mornings. Near zero visibility is experienced during extremely foggy nights that absolutely hampers air traffic and motorways. The intensity of Rainfall in this month is moderate to fairly-heavy like in the western disturbance season of the city. Snowfall on higher elevations of Margalla Hills is not uncommon as it happens every year or after every few years. There have been rare instances of snowfall in the city (February 1984). The average rainfall for this month is 59mm at Zero Point official observatory and 56mm at Chaklala (old airport).[11] Western Disturbance has a great influence in the winter of the city. It produces rains and sometimes hailstorms. The highest temperature is 30.1 °C (86.2 °F) (30,Jan,1995) and it breaks the record the highest temperature in islamabad is 42 °C ( 0%, Humidity: 20% ,Wind: 11 km/h)(09-JUN,2021) and lowest temperature is −6.0 °C (21.2 °F). While the highest rainfall for this month is 199 millimetres (7.8 in) recorded at Zero Point in 1995.

February

[edit]

The weather of Islamabad in February is warmer than that of January. The weather remains mild. Western Disturbance causes rainfall just like in January but the frequency and intensity of western disturbances is more than that of January. Average rainfall is relatively greater than January totaling to 84.1 millimetres at Chaklala airport and 89mm at Zero Point official observatory (3.31 in). In 2013, record (Highest) rainfall of 306.1 millimetres (12.05 in) at Chaklala airport was observed and a thunderstorms breakout was experienced from three western disturbances that caused bizarre conditions of frequent hailstorms and 93 kilometres per hour (58 mph) wind gusts.[8] Moreover, hailstorms with thunderstorms are not a rare occurrence in this cool time of the year. Observations demonstrate that cold weather (below zero temperature) is not experienced after halfway through the month as plantation season officially begins during the last fortnight. On rare occasions, snowline has even dropped down just to 3000 feet in February because of which Margalla Hills have received heavy snowfall in some years (especially up to a total of 1.5 feet snow in 2005). On 11 February 2016 also, the Margalla Hills received good snowfall which could be clearly seen from the Islamabad city. The highest temperature ever recorded was 30 °C (86 °F) (1985) and lowest temperature is −2.2 °C (28.0 °F).

March 2015 set a record rainfall of a massive 331.1 millimetres (13.04 in) at chaklala airport. A few strong thunderstorms develop every year during this month and sometimes these can accompanied by dust storms and gusts near hurricane force at 126 kilometres per hour (75 mph). Hailstorms are both greater in frequency and intensity during March and weather can quickly change during the day. The highest temperature is 36.0 °C (96.8 °F) and the lowest is 0 °C (32 °F). The highest rainfall for March is 333 millimetres (13.1 in) (2015).

Environmentalists and climatologists are now classifying Islamabad's climate into five distinct seasons. The newly added season is the Monsoon, characterized by heavy rainfall and high humidity. During this time, temperatures are relatively lower compared to the peak summer months of May and June. This distinct change in climate is the reason experts have classified the Monsoon as a separate season, given its unique nature compared to the typical summer months. [45]

Season Duration Remarks
Summer First week of May to end to June Intense dry heat relatively low rainfall and temperature crossing 40°C.
Monsoon First week July to mid of September Heavy to extreme rainfall with moderate temperature of around 32-33°C but moderate to high heat index due to high humidity.
Autumn Mid of September to end of October Day temperature remains normal (not hot not cold) but night gets chilly and pleasant.
Winters first week to November to end of February Very chilly and cold especially during night and morning time in which the temperate gets below freezing point i.e. 4°C. Snowfall unusually occurs in Marglla hills but no snowfall in plan areas now.
